2019, Computers and FluidsCitation Excerpt :In particular, there have been a sequence of codes developed over this period of time that are now freely available to any individual who wishes to study mantle dynamics. They include HC [25,26,71], ConMan [38], CitCom S [48,75,85], Citcom CU [51,84] and ASPECT [29,41]. These codes, as well as others, can be downloaded from the Computational Infrastructure for Geodynamics (CIG) at U.C. Davis.1

2015, Journal of Asian Earth SciencesCitation Excerpt :All of the model domains consist of four-node quadrilateral elements. The finite element code ConMan (King et␣al., 1990) was used to calculate the governing equations and rheology, described above. To minimize the effect of the initial conditions on the thermal and flow structures of the subduction zone, we allowed subduction for 30 My using constant subduction parameters (near-steady state), and injection of the plume blob into the mantle wedge was followed.
