Hi again,

I think Nicolas is right. It seems there is a mistake in the manual (and in my scaling script too - don't use it! - I'm glad I distributed it without guarantee, though)

Patrice, the unit for A in Gale is [Pa^(-1) s^(-1/n)],

also the pre-stress constant as you describe it [Pa^(-n)s^(-1)] has to be converted :
{Pa^(-n)s^(-1)}^(1/n) in order to be in the same unit than Gale,
then it needs to be scaled  =>
 Anew=Aold * timeScalingFactor ^(-1/n)

Correct?

Cheers

Gilly

Hi Nicolas,

I sent a spreadsheet for scaling the Non Newtonian viscosity couple of months ago. It is available here:

Hi Nicolas

The dimension of A (the pre-stress constant) is MPa^-n . s^-1, or ... 10^(-6*n) . s^-1; a bit messy and a common source of errors.

Common values I use for the continental crust: (5 10^-6) .10^-(6*n); for the lower crust: 8 .10^-(6*n), and for the mantle: 70000.10^-(6*n)

The scaling factor of A is : (StressScalingFactor^-n) / TimeScalingFactor.

Cheers

Patrice

Hi,

I'm encountering some problems when scaling the "A" (creeping parameter) for
the non-newtonian rheology.
In gale user manual (2.2.8.2) it is said that the unit of A parameter is *
s(-1/n).Pa(-1)
*For other authors the unit of this parameter is most of the time in *
Pa(-n).s(-1)* or *Pa.s(1/n).*

I will take an example in order to understand :

A = 262800* Pa.s(1/n)*
n = 4*

*If I want to translate this value for gale, first I have to change the
units for *s(-1/n).Pa(-1) *by multplying with ^(-1) ?

Then A unscaled becomes for gale 262800^(-1) = 3.8051e-6

Based on that and following gale user manual A scaled for gale is 3.8051e-6
* (10e25)^(1/n) = 6.7574
However in the dyke example the scaling of A is around 1e-12.

I'm wondering if there a mistake for the given scaling equation. Maybe this
equation should be Anew = Aold(10e25)^(-1/n) ?

When I use this, I obtain Anew = 2.1368e-12 and this works

Do you have any suggestions about this ?
