ASPECT.
Here we use ASPECT to numerically reproduce the results of a linear stability analysis for the onset of convection in a fluid layer heated from below. This exercise was assigned to students in a geodynamics class at Portland State University as a first step towards setting up a nominally Earth-like mantle convection model. Hence, representative length scales and transport properties for Earth are used.
