An approach to thermal convection problems in geophysics with application to the earth's mantle and ground water systems

Two thermal convection problems of geophysical interest are examined, theoretically. First, convection in the earth's mantle is treated on the basis of a one-dimensional 'strip model'. This model results from further simplification of the well known 'Rayleigh model'. For hom...
