H = H (Pressure, Temperature, Composition, Mineralogy)
Gibbs free energy minimization
(Gerya et al., 2001, 2004, Connolly & Petrini, 2002, Vasiliev et al., 2004)
Cp(DT/Dt) = (kT/x)/x + (kT/z)/z + Qp + Qshear + Qradioactive
Qp = (DP/Dt)[1- (H/P)T] Cp = (H/T)P
Latent heating is implemented via effective heat capacity (Cp)
and effective adiabatic heating (Qp)computed numerically from the enthalpy and density maps
Lagrangian temperature equation
standard thermodynamic relations
D(ln)/Dt + div(v) = 0Lagrangian continuity equation for compressible flow
Volumetric effects of phase transformations are taken into account in both the momentum and the continuity equations
дP/дx = (P2-P1)/x

Finite differencesT
Combination of finite-differences, on staggered grid , and
marker-in-cell technique
Method of numerical solutionoriginal 2-D and 3-D
single- & multi-processor C-codes I2, I3, I2VIS, I2ELVIS, I2IOMP, I3MG
(Gerya et al., 2000; Gerya & Yuen, 2003)
Marker technique
Staggered grid
The software fit advances in hardware technology - Work stations: n104 nodes, n107 markers Supercomputers: n107 nodes, n1010 markers
in visualization technology -ultra-high spatial resolution for very large numerical models
