Both soundings exhibit superadiabatic lapse rates within
the surface-1000 hPa layer and dry adiabatic lapse rates between 1000
and 900 hPa. This model has made several
advances over previous conduit modelling programs because it
incorporates: 1) a non-Arrhenian viscosity relation for hydrous melts;
2) a relation between bulk viscosity and volume fraction gas dependant
on capillary number; 3) adiabatic temperature changes using established
thermodynamic relations for melts and water vapour, respectively. 4 m/s, one obtains that the adiabatic condition is well
fulfilled, 1. |
