Extended Boussinesq Approximation

ASPECT
1

Hi,
I am trying to benchmark ASPECT against other code(s). Am I correct that there is currently no simple way of running models with the Extended Boussinesq Approximation? (i.e. adiabatic term + shear heating term)

Hi Cedric,

We do not advertise an approximation for EBA by name, but it is not difficult to do. See aspect/visco_plastic_adiabatic_heating_density.prm at 1254e7b70c528081c16070bf67e25405ccfaf29f · geodynamics/aspect · GitHub for an example.
