Sentence examples for convective cell from inspiring English sources

Due to the temperature-dependent viscosity, the top part of a convective cell forms a stagnant lid and convection only penetrates into the lid by length of δ rh - the rheological layer thickness (e.g., Solomatov 1995).

This opens a possibility of subduction initiation even for the large, experimentally measured, lithospheric strength provided that a sufficiently long convective cell forms in a time-dependent mantle convection.

To prevent the segregation, it was shown numerically that single regular convective cell could be broken into several cells by the appropriate variation of power-down cooling rate.

Figure 11 Top part of a convective cell showing various definitions of the lid base.

This convective cell structure indicates ancient and recent fluid circulation across the sediment-basement interface.

Figure 1 Temperature (left) and stress fields (right) of a steady-state convective cell.

The onset of natural convection through the formation of multiple convective cells in the multitube system significantly altered the shape of the solid liquid interface fluid flow and indicates the requirement for an in-depth study of multitube arrangements.

In the future, it would be important to investigate the role of initiation conditions and statistical fluctuations of convective cells for the initiation of subduction in time-dependent convection.

There are, however, scaling laws for convection that describe the relationship between the width and depth of convective cells.

This happens when individual convective cells form repeatedly over the same locations.

The result is "training" or repeat passage of convective cells over the same locations (the so called "rain train effect").
