  • MODELLING THE EMPLACEMENT OF COMPOUND LAVA FLOWS 
    Blake S.; Bruno B.C. (2000)
    The physical variables controlling crust-dominated lava flow have been investigated using laboratory experiments in which molten polyglycol wax was extruded from a point source on to a horizontal plane under cold water. ...
  • ON THE ANATOMY OF MANTLE PLUMES: EFFECT OF THE VISCOSITY RATIO ON ENTRAINMENT AND STIRRING 
    Kumagai I. (2002)
    Laminar entrainment of starting plumes with compositional buoyancy has been explored in a series of laboratory experiments. Two types of starting plume have been identified within the range of viscosity ratio εas of 10.4-856 ...
  • ON THE FATE OF MANTLE PLUMES AT DENSITY INTERFACES 
    Kumagai I.; Kurita K. (2000)
    The motion of plumes through compositionally layered systems is investigated by laboratory experiments in order to understand the ascent modes of deep mantle plumes. Experimental plumes entrain the ambient heavier fluid ...
