This is a theoretical study of the dynamic processes shaping mantle flow beneath mid.ocean spreading centers. three dimensional numerical models of flow beneath a spreading center will be constructed to try to explain observed bulls.eye gravity anomalies along slow.spreading ridges and their absence along intermediate and fast spreading ridges. The models will include the irreversible effects of melting on shaping the density structure and will explore the effects of spatial, temperature, and composition dependent rheology.

这是一项理论研究，对塑造地幔流的动态过程。将构建在扩散中心下方的流动的三维数值模型，以试图解释观察到的斗牛型重力异常，沿着慢速山脊及其沿中间和快速扩散的山脊的缺失。这些模型将包括熔化对塑造密度结构的不可逆转影响，并将探索空间，温度和组成依赖性流变的影响。
