A framework to study the thermo-chemical evolution of rocky and icy bodies (planets, moons, and planetoids) on a global scale in the solar system and beyond.
A JS compiled (older) version can be found here . Just click Run in the Run tab and switch to Temperature or Velocity tab.

By comparing the numerical simulations with the experiment data, we are able to verify the validity of our computer models and expand the parameter space to ranges not applicable for an experiment.
