MODEL OF DECOMPRESSION MELTING MECHANISM IN CONVECTIVE-UNSTABLE THERMAL LITHOSPHERE (FIRST APPROXIMATION) by B. V. Lunev, V. V. Lapkovsky

“…Logically, both the Rayleigh number and the intensity of convection also double (and this is confirmed by the calculations), which means that convection is enhanced after the melting start.Testing of the model shows that it gives a reasonable picture that is consistent with the available geological and geophysical data on the structure of the lithosphere underneath the currently developing epicontinental sedimentary basins. …”
