The Software Tools for Mantle Convection at CIG: The Current State CitcomCU: 3D Cartesian/Regional spherical finite element code. CitcomS: 3D Spherical shell finite element code To be released: CitcomSC: including compressible flow. ConMan • Common features: • Linear velocity/constant pressure elements. • Regular element ordering.
The Software Tools for Mantle Convection at CIG: The Future • Adaptive mesh, dynamic re-meshing. • High-order elements – critical for good pressure fields. • Better software engineering (framework,…) • Those components may be shared with codes for long-term tectonics and short-term tectonics.
