Dear ASPECT Community,
I hope this message finds you well. I am currently working on a project that explores two-phase flow models, and I would like to inquire about the capabilities of ASPECT in this area.
Specifically, I am referring to the paper “https://doi.org/10.1093/gji/ggw329,”(Dannberg and Timo Heister,2016)which demonstrates a partial melting two-phase flow model. As I understand it, this work involves modeling the interaction between two phases, and I am interested to know if ASPECT is capable of implementing similar models, particularly those involving the interactions between metal and silicate melt components.
In addition, I am also inspired by the work of Korenaga & Marchi (2023) “https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2309181120”, which examines the percolation of metal in the mantle. I am interested in using ASPECT to replicate their findings related to metal percolation and to investigate the impact of metal percolation in the context of early Earth mantle differentiation.
Could you please clarify whether ASPECT can be extended or used to model such two-phase flow problems, particularly with a focus on metal and silicate melts?
I appreciate your time and look forward to your guidance.
Best regards,
Ting He
