But you can already adjust the prefactors for diffusion and dislocation
creep separately for each compositional field. So you could choose the
composite rheology for all of the fields, and if you want your material
to be dominantly in the dislocation creep regime, you just have to set
the diffusion creep prefactor to a very high value. Then the dislocation
viscosity will be much lower, and will dominate the flow.
This is also quite reasonable from a numerical and physical point of
view, because the dislocation viscosity alone goes to infinity for the
strain rate going to zero, so for very low strain rates diffusion creep
would limit that.
Cheers,
Juliane
