Models of buoyancy-driven dykes using continuum plasticity or fracture mechanics: a comparison Abstract. Magmatic dykes play an important role in the thermomechanics of tectonic rifting of the lithosphere. Our understanding of this role is limited by the lack of models that consistently capture...

New paper ⭐️: we compare our continuum two-phase flow theory for dyking with fracture mechanics. And they match in the limit of elasticity and full porosity! Consolidates our modeling of melt transport from source to surface and across brittle-ductile rocks 🌋🪨 gmd.copernicus.org/articles/18/...
