Effective buoyancy ratio: a new parameter for characterizing thermo-chemical mixing in the Earth's mantle
Numerical modeling has been carried out in a 2-D cylindrical shell domain to quantify the evolution of a primordial dense layer around the core–mantle boundary. Effective buoyancy ratio, <i>B</i><sub>eff</sub> was introduced to characterize the evolution of the two-layer ther...
