A laboratory volcano (11): application to Kilauea
Lava
pond, Puu O’o eruption
(Kilauea,
March 1988)
Makaopuhi lava lake, 1965:
height = 83 m = hc
viscosity = 50 Pa.s = m
Temperature measurements + model of thermal convection
for the first 5 months of
emplacement:
no thermal convection because of
bubble rise
te* = 5 months
te* = 4.2
mean bubble diameter d0 = 1 mm
same order of magnitude as for Puu O’o and Mauna Ulu eruptions
