Abstract:<p><strong>1. Introduction</strong></p>
<p>We are interested in systems where two phases coexist: a solid phase with a high effective viscosity, and a low-viscosity liquid phase which fills the porosity of the solid phase. Two-phase systems, or "mush", are common in planetary sciences: magma extraction, Earth's inner core, icy moons... On terrestrial or icy bodies, such biphasic layers can compact under their own weight, wh… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
