Hi Siqi,

Shear heating, as known as viscous dissipation, is enabled if the
"dissipation_number" is not 0. You might want to take a look at Section
1.5 "Governing Equations" in CitcomS manual on how to compute the
dissipation number.
http://www.geodynamics.org/cig/software/packages/mc/citcoms/citcoms.pdf

The body force is derived from the temperature, composition and the
velocity boundary condition in CitcomS. All of them can be specified in
the input file(s). Cookbook 5 is an example. You can also try Cookbook 9
for a different approach. If neither are suitable for you, can you
describe the problem you try to solve in more details?

Regards,
