Effects of the Compositional Viscosity Ratio on the Long‐Term Evolution of Thermochemical Reservoirs in the Deep Mantle

Abstract Numerical experiments of thermochemical mantle convection in 2‐D spherical annulus geometry are performed to investigate the effects of compositional viscosity ratio (ΔηC) on the long‐term evolution of reservoirs of dense, primordial material in the lowermost mantle of the Earth. The intern...
