[CIG-SHORT] a question about gammadot0 in RELAX

[Sylvain Barbot]

Hi Minxuan,

For a viscosity of eta=10^18 Pa s and a rigidity of G = 30 x 10^9 Pa, you
have a fluidity of gamma_dot0 = G / eta = 3 x 10^-8 /s ~ 1 /yr.

For a fluidity gammadot_0, the viscosity is eta = G / gammadot_0.

This is all in the documentation and in the man page.

Cheers,
Sylvain
