[aspect-devel] Zhong et al. (2008) topography and geoid benchmark

[Rene Gassmoeller]

As far as I recall there have been several tries to reproduce the 
time-dependent setup of this benchmark, but without the option to solve 
the exact boussinesq approximation we always had trouble to reproduce 
the vrms velocity to better than 5% or so. The most recent and extensive 
try was done by Scott and Grant Euen (presented at Grant's poster at 
AGU). I am not sure if anyone tried the Stokes flow / topography / geoid 
setup though, at least I did not, and I agree with John it might be very 
useful to have those.

Best,

Rene

This might also be a possibility to test the geoid post processors that people worked on during the last hackathon. Ian and Shangxin, if you’re willing to share I could test your geoid post processors (just let me know if the ones that are on your github repositories are up to date or update them if they aren’t).
