Variational Derivation of the Weak Form for Viscous Flows Involving Free Surfaces with Implications for Geodynamic Simulations

Geodynamic simulations involve solving the Stokes equations, where boundary conditions play a crucial role in governing internal dynamics and surface topography evolution. A common approach is to model the interface in contact with air as a free surface. This interface is stress-free and deforms in response to internal...
