Guillaume Richard (ISTO) will give a seminar on the development of DeepMagmaFOAM : a 3D two-phase flow numerical model for deep magma dynamics.

Abstract

Deep in the crust, magmas can be seen as a mixture of two phases: a matrix made of crystals and a melt percolating within. Using two-phase flow theory is it possible to build numerical models allowing to simulate the dynamics of deep magma? Here I present such a model, its numerical implementation in the OpenFOAM framework and discuss some preliminary results of the simulations.
