Computer Simulation of fluid flow in the deep Earth
Water from the oceans can be brought deep in the Earth in subduction zones. This water can be released again at various depths and it can also carry other chemical elements such as Si, C, and S. It can be responsible for economic ore deposits, it may trigger Earthquakes, and it facilitates melting which can lead to volcanic eruptions at the Earths surface. We use computer simulations to understand such processes.
