Abstract
The mantle unsteady flows, which are in an incompressible and isoviscous spherical shell, are investigated by using algorithms of the parallel Lagrange multiplier dissonant decomposition method (LMDDM) and the parallel Lagrange multiplier discontinuous deformation analyses (LMDDA) in this paper. Some physical fields about mantle flows such as velocity, pressure, temperature, stress and the force to the crust of the Asian continent are calculated on a parallel computer.
