The melt content is significant characteristic for the low velocity layer, so it is very necessary to set up the quantitative relationship between the low velocity anomaly and the melt fraction. We describe the computational methods for melt volume fractions and discussed the parameter selections for the theoretical computations. •We discuss the seismic wave velocity characteristics and the equilibrium geometry model in the partial melting system.•Equations for computing the elastic properties atop the LVL are presented.•Parameter selection of the equilibrium geometry model is shown.
熔体含量是低速层的重要特征,因此建立低速异常与熔体分数之间的定量关系非常必要。我们描述了熔体体积分数的计算方法,并讨论了理论计算的参数选择。•我们讨论了部分熔融系统中的地震波速度特征和平衡几何模型。•给出了计算低速层顶部弹性性质的方程。•展示了平衡几何模型的参数选择。
