Detailed Description

template<int dim>
class aspect::MaterialModel::ViscoPlastic< dim >

A material model combining viscous and plastic deformation, with the option to also include viscoelastic deformation.

Viscous deformation is defined by a viscous flow law describing dislocation and diffusion creep: \( v = \frac{1}{2} A^{-\frac{1}{n}} d^{\frac{m}{n}} \dot{\varepsilon}_{ii}^{\frac{1-n}{n}} \exp\left(\frac{E + PV}{nRT}\right) \) where where \(A\) is the prefactor, \(n\) is the stress exponent, \(\dot{\varepsilon}_{ii}\) is the square root of the deviatoric strain rate tensor second invariant, \(d\) is grain size, \(m\) is the grain size exponent, \(E\) is activation energy, \(V\) is activation volume, \(P\) is pressure, \(R\) is the gas exponent and \(T\) is temperature.

One may select to use the diffusion ( \(v_{diff}\); \(n=1\), \(m!=0\)), dislocation ( \(v_{disl}\), \(n>1\), \(m=0\)) or composite \(\frac{v_{diff}v_{disl}}{v_{diff}+v_{disl}}\) equation form.

Viscous stress is limited by plastic deformation, which follows a Drucker Prager yield criterion: \(\sigma_y = C\cos(\phi) + P\sin(\phi)\) (2D) or in 3D \(\sigma_y = \frac{6C\cos(\phi) + 2P\sin(\phi)}{\sqrt{3}(3+\sin(\phi))}\) where \(\sigma_y\) is the yield stress, \(C\) is cohesion, \(phi\) is the angle of internal friction and \(P\) is pressure. If the viscous stress ( \(2v{\varepsilon}_{ii})\)) exceeds the yield stress ( \(\sigma_{y}\)), the viscosity is rescaled back to the yield surface: \(v_{y}=\sigma_{y}/(2{\varepsilon}_{ii})\)

When included, the viscoelastic rheology takes into account the elastic shear strength (e.g., shear modulus), while the tensile and volumetric strength (e.g., Young's and bulk modulus) are not considered. The model is incompressible and allows specifying an arbitrary number of compositional fields, where each field represents a different rock type or component of the viscoelastic stress tensor. The symmetric stress tensor in 2D and 3D, respectively, contains 3 or 6 components. The compositional fields representing these components must be named and listed in a very specific format, which is designed to minimize mislabeling stress tensor components as distinct 'compositional rock types' (or vice versa). For 2D models, the first three compositional fields must be labeled ve_stress_xx, ve_stress_yy and ve_stress_xy. In 3D, the first six compositional fields must be labeled ve_stress_xx, ve_stress_yy, ve_stress_zz, ve_stress_xy, ve_stress_xz, ve_stress_yz.

Combining this viscoelasticity implementation with non-linear viscous flow and plasticity produces a constitutive relationship commonly referred to as partial elastoviscoplastic (e.g., pEVP) in the geodynamics community. While extensively discussed and applied within the geodynamics literature, notable references include: Moresi et al. (2003), J. Comp. Phys., v. 184, p. 476-497. Gerya and Yuen (2007), Phys. Earth. Planet. Inter., v. 163, p. 83-105. Gerya (2010), Introduction to Numerical Geodynamic Modeling. Kaus (2010), Tectonophysics, v. 484, p. 36-47. Choi et al. (2013), J. Geophys. Res., v. 118, p. 2429-2444. Keller et al. (2013), Geophys. J. Int., v. 195, p. 1406-1442.

The overview below directly follows Moresi et al. (2003) eqns. 23-32. However, an important distinction between this material model and the studies above is the use of compositional fields, rather than particles, to track individual components of the viscoelastic stress tensor. The material model will be updated when an option to track and calculate viscoelastic stresses with particles is implemented. Moresi et al. (2003) begins (eqn. 23) by writing the deviatoric rate of deformation ( \(\hat{D}\)) as the sum of elastic ( \(\hat{D_{e}}\)) and viscous ( \(\hat{D_{v}}\)) components: \(\hat{D} = \hat{D_{e}} + \hat{D_{v}}\). These terms further decompose into \(\hat{D_{v}} = \frac{\tau}{2\eta}\) and \(\hat{D_{e}} = \frac{\overset{\triangledown}{\tau}}{2\mu}\), where \(\tau\) is the viscous deviatoric stress, \(\eta\) is the shear viscosity, \(\mu\) is the shear modulus and \(\overset{\triangledown}{\tau}\) is the Jaumann corotational stress rate. If plasticity is included the deviatoric rate of deformation may be written as: \(\hat{D} = \hat{D_{e}} + \hat{D_{v}} + \hat{D_{p}}\), where \(\hat{D_{p}}\) is the plastic component. As defined in the second paragraph, \(\hat{D_{p}}\) decomposes to \(\frac{\tau_{y}}{2\eta_{y}}\), where \(\tau_{y}\) is the yield stress and \(\eta_{y}\) is the viscosity rescaled to the yield surface.

Above, the Jaumann corotational stress rate (eqn. 24) from the elastic component contains the time derivative of the deviatoric stress ( \(\dot{\tau}\)) and terms that account for material spin (e.g., rotation) due to advection: \(\overset{\triangledown}{\tau} = \dot{\tau} + {\tau}W -W\tau\). Above, \(W\) is the material spin tensor (eqn. 25): \(W_{ij} = \frac{1}{2} \left (\frac{\partial V_{i}}{\partial x_{j}} - \frac{\partial V_{j}}{\partial x_{i}} \right )\).

The Jaumann stress-rate can also be approximated using terms from the time at the previous time step ( \(t\)) and current time step ( \(t + \Delta t^{e}\)): \(\smash[t]{\overset{\triangledown}{\tau}}^{t + \Delta t^{e}} \approx \frac{\tau^{t + \Delta t^{e} - \tau^{t}}}{\Delta t^{e}} - W^{t}\tau^{t} + \tau^{t}W^{t}\). In this material model, the size of the time step above ( \(\Delta t^{e}\)) can be specified as the numerical time step size or an independent fixed time step. If the latter case is selected, the user has an option to apply a stress averaging scheme to account for the differences between the numerical and fixed elastic time step (eqn. 32). If one selects to use a fixed elastic time step throughout the model run, an equal numerical and elastic time step can be achieved by using CFL and maximum time step values that restrict the numerical time step to the fixed elastic time step.

The formulation above allows rewriting the total rate of deformation (eqn. 29) as \(\tau^{t + \Delta t^{e}} = \eta_{eff} \left ( 2\hat{D}^{t + \triangle t^{e}} + \frac{\tau^{t}}{\mu \Delta t^{e}} + \frac{W^{t}\tau^{t} - \tau^{t}W^{t}}{\mu} \right )\).

The effective viscosity (eqn. 28) is a function of the viscosity ( \(\eta\)), elastic time step size ( \(\Delta t^{e}\)) and shear relaxation time ( \( \alpha = \frac{\eta}{\mu} \)): \(\eta_{eff} = \eta \frac{\Delta t^{e}}{\Delta t^{e} + \alpha}\) The magnitude of the shear modulus thus controls how much the effective viscosity is reduced relative to the initial viscosity.

Elastic effects are introduced into the governing Stokes equations through an elastic force term (eqn. 30) using stresses from the previous time step: \(F^{e,t} = -\frac{\eta_{eff}}{\mu \Delta t^{e}} \tau^{t}\). This force term is added onto the right-hand side force vector in the system of equations.

Several model parameters (reference densities, thermal expansivities thermal diffusivities, heat capacities and rheology parameters) can be defined per-compositional field. For each material parameter the user supplies a comma delimited list of length N+1, where N is the number of compositional fields. The additional field corresponds to the value for background material. They should be ordered ``background, composition1, composition2...''

If a list of values is given for the density, thermal expansivity, thermal diffusivity and heat capacity, the volume weighted sum of the values of each of the compositional fields is used in their place, for example \(\rho = \sum \left( \rho_i V_i \right)\)

The individual output viscosities for each compositional field are also averaged. The user can choose from a range of options for this viscosity averaging. If only one value is given for any of these parameters, all compositions are assigned the same value. The first value in the list is the value assigned to "background material" (regions where the sum of the compositional fields is < 1.0).

§ is_compressible()

template<int dim>
bool aspect::MaterialModel::ViscoPlastic< dim >::is_compressible ( ) const
overridevirtual

Return whether the model is compressible or not. Incompressibility does not necessarily imply that the density is constant; rather, it may still depend on temperature or pressure. In the current context, compressibility means whether we should solve the continuity equation as \(\nabla \cdot (\rho \mathbf u)=0\) (compressible Stokes) or as \(\nabla \cdot \mathbf{u}=0\) (incompressible Stokes).

This material model is incompressible.

Implements aspect::MaterialModel::Interface< dim >.

§ declare_parameters()

template<int dim>
static void aspect::MaterialModel::ViscoPlastic< dim >::declare_parameters ( ParameterHandler &  prm)
static

§ parse_parameters()

template<int dim>
void aspect::MaterialModel::ViscoPlastic< dim >::parse_parameters ( ParameterHandler &  prm)
overridevirtual

Read the parameters this class declares from the parameter file. The default implementation of this function does not read any parameters. Consequently, derived classes do not have to overload this function if they do not take any runtime parameters. On the other hand, most plugins do have run-time parameters, and they may then overload this function.

Reimplemented from aspect::Plugins::InterfaceBase.

§ rheology

template<int dim>
std::unique_ptr<Rheology::ViscoPlastic<dim> > aspect::MaterialModel::ViscoPlastic< dim >::rheology
private

Pointer to the object used to compute the rheological properties. In this case, the rheology in question is visco(elasto)plastic. The object contains functions for parameter declaration and parsing, and further functions that calculate viscosity and viscosity derivatives. It also contains functions that create and fill additional material model outputs, specifically plastic outputs. The rheology itself is a composite rheology, and so the object contains further objects and/or pointers to objects that provide functions and parameters for all subordinate rheologies.
