Mathematical Models for Magma-Hydrothermal Boundary Layer Heat Transfer at Ocean Ridge Crests

洛厄尔提出了两种岩浆热液模型 洋脊顶部边界层热传递。之一 模型将处理垂直热液边界层， 在堤坝附近发展，并作为羽状物上升到海底。 这种类型的流动可以解释短暂的黑人吸烟者活动 出现在岩浆穹丘的边缘的 第二个数学模型涉及从 对流，冻结岩浆房到热液系统。 该模型将侧重于海水的相分离， 形成高盐卤水层的基础上， 热液系统，以及这种层对 岩浆热液系统的演化。

Lowell proposes to develop two models for magma-hydrothermal boundary layer heat transfer at ocean ridge crests. One of the models will treat vertical hydrothermal boundary layers that develop adjacent to dikes and rise as plumes to the sea floor. This type of flow may explain ephemeral black smoker activity that appears to occur at the margins of magmatic domes. The second mathematical model concerns heat transfer from a convecting, freezing magma chamber to a hydrothermal system. This model will focus on phase separation of seawater and the formation of a highly saline brine layer at the base of the hydrothermal system, and the subsequent impact of such a layer on the evolution of the magma-hydrothermal system.
