Table 5 RMS velocity \(V_{{\mathrm{rms}}}\) computed for \(\mu =0.0\), \(\mu =0.5\), \(\mu =1.0\) with different viscous dissipation number D at \({\mathrm{Ra}} = 10^7\) and \(\theta _0\) = 0.1

From: Mathematical modelling of mantle convection at a high Rayleigh number with variable viscosity and viscous dissipation
