Dataset for "On the criticality of return flows in viscous accretionary wedges and its implications for deep-crustal exhumation in subduction zones"

In subduction zones the accretionary wedges play a vital role in mediating the burial processes of incoming oceanic sediments, and eventually their return pathways to the surface. In this study, we develop a generalized corner flow model to revisit the problem of return flow mechanics, providing a criticality analysis of the return flows as a function of the geometric, kinematic and rheological conditions in accretionary wedges
