HC

HC is a global mantle circulation solver following Hager & O'Connell (1981) which can compute velocities, tractions, and geoid for simple density distributions and plate velocities.

This particular implementation illustrates one possible way to combine the HC solver routines. Based on code by Brad Hager, Richard O'Connell, and Bernhard Steinberger, this version is by Thorsten Becker and Craig O'Neill.
