Description
FlexPDE script for simulating global electromagnetic induction in Earth. The mantle is modeled as three separately homogeneous, concentric spherical shells surrounding a highly conductive core. The modeling domain is 3D. The script defaults to an assumption of azimuthal symmetry (limited 3D), but includes instructions for overriding this assumption (full 3D). Also includes instructions for adding homogeneous surface conductance layer via boundary condition.
