A Coupled Computational Scheme on Thermal and Phase Structures of Subducting Slabs
-
Abstract
The thermodynamic processes underwent by olivine, the chief mineral of subducting slabs, are important in studying the mechanisms of deep-focus earthquakes and the interaction between slabs and the surrounding mantle. We proposed a modified coupling scheme to calculate slabs' thermal and phase structures, which presents a high computational accuracy at an accessible CPU expense. Using the new code of computation, we calculated the thermal and phase structures of the Kurile subduction zone.
