[CIG-LONG] CIG-LONG Digest, Vol 42, Issue 6

[Karen Paczkowski]

That's great news.  I have mainly been having issues getting the  
people who run the clusters to install PETSc.  I'm not positive I will  
need the restart option yet.  I think I will wait until the executable  
is released to decide.  It all depends on whether the initial thermal  
field affects the final results.

I had two more specific question on specifying the density and the  
hydrostatic pressure term in my model.  I have specified the velocity  
field of a subduction zone by drawing a horizontal box on the left  
side of the model box with a constant horizontal velocity connected to  
a slanted rectangular shape with a constant diagonally down going  
velocity.  I have specified an initial thermal field using the  
TemperatureProfile function.

I would like the density to be dependent on temperature and I would  
like to specify a hydrostatic restoring force to make sure that all of  
my mass does not just follow my slab and get lost out of the bottom of  
my simulation.  Do you have any suggestions on how I can specify these  
two things?

Thank you,
Karen
