2D subduction results
Lifecycle : flow reorganization
Necessity of the third dimension
Importance of the mantle flow Real subductions have a limited lateral
extent Interactions on the lateral edges of
subduction zones

3D subduction model
Same governing equations Same tools used … only a different setup
3D subduction model
upper mantle
plate with subduction zone
no upper plate
Box size: big enough, for side walls to have little effect on subducting slab
The level set field
subducting slab
only subducting part of the plate is included in the FE domain
use level set to define and track the subducting plate
Symmetry hypothesis
assume symmetry: model only half of the domain
free slip side boundary
Bottom boundary condition
higher viscosity in LM and phase boundary hinder convection
fixed bottom boundary
Slab boundary conditions
plate fixed, to isolate effects of tearing and rollback

free slip top boundary
