Hi David,
Thanks for your suggestions! I will try to use a larger vertical viscosity to see if the simulation can be stable or not. Actually, the magma ocean on tidally locked planets might be wind-driven according to previous studies, and the amplitude of wind stress might reache  a magnitude of 100 N/m2. But we do not have a real ocean boundary at the day/night limit. Instead, the magma ocean boundary, determined by the melting temperature, is evolving as temperature evolves. And I make the velocity in regions where T<2000 K close to zero using the rbc package. So there is no strong boundary current near the ocean boundary.

Thanks!
Yanhong

I agree with Christoph, that the viscosity appears a little low. But you may need viscosities that are large and maybe require implicit schemes that are only available for the vertical (in MITgcm). The Coriolis CFL number is probably also much different from Earth, so is gravity.
