Summary

Included video files are visualisations of the temporal evolution of the following 3D spherical mantle convection models: 05_depltd, 03_depltd, 07_depltd, 1_22_visc, 3_22_visc, no_lid_visc, 10_lid_visc, lT_init, hT_init Each video file shows the temporal evolution of thermal anomalies (compared to layer average) and of Primitive Particle Concentration (PPC, i.e. the fraction of primitive undegassed particles to the total number of paticles owned by each grid node). Video files can be opened using open-source multimedia softwares such as VLC or QuickTime Player. These files are supplementary video files for manuscript titled "Geodynamic Controls on Mantle Differentiation and Preservation of Long-Term Geochemical Heterogeneity: Focus on the Primitive Undegassed Mantle”.
