Viscous dissipation pattern in incompressible Newtonian simple shear zones: an analytical model

摘要: An analytical model of shear heating in an inclined simple zone with Newtonian rheology under a reverse sense and upward resultant pressure gradient is presented. Neglecting number secondary factors, the heat expressed as function total slip rates at boundaries, gradient, dip thickness zone, density, viscosity, thermal conductivity rock. A quartic temperature profile develops point maximum near bottom part general. The parabolic if vanishes leading to Couette flow. attains bell shape there no i.e., true Pouseille present more applicable subduction channels some extruding salt diapirs where viscous drives extrusion.
