Rayleigh–Bénard convection in a creeping solid with melting and freezing at either or both its horizontal boundaries

Rayleigh–Bénard convection in a creeping solid with melting and freezing at either or both its horizontal boundaries

Solid-state convection can take place in the rocky or icy mantles of planetary objects, and these mantles can be surrounded above or below or both by molten layers of similar composition. A flow towards the interface can proceed through it by changing phase. This behaviour is modelled by a boundary …
