Scientific paper

In the interest of a model for the internal evolution of the moon that accounts for mare volcanism, numerical experiments have been conducted that examined the formation of a heated mixed layer in a chemically stratified, viscous fluid heat from below. The experiments have given attention to two dimensionless parameters, the thermal Rayleigh number and the ratio of compositional to thermal buoyancy.
