Cooling of a channeled lava flow with non-Newtonian rheology: crust formation and surface radiance
We present here the results from dynamical and thermal models that describe a channeled lava flow as it cools by radiation. In particular, the effects of power-law rheology and of the presence of bends in the flow are considered, as well as the formation of surface crust and lava tubes. On the basis...
