Abstract
A possible dynamic process for magma flow in a volcanic conduit is briefly described. In many of the governing equations, viscosity of magma is involved, and hence, the effective viscosity of magma with small concentration of bubbles was calculated under the assumption of small Reynolds number. The result is
where ηo is the viscosity of a liquid and ϕ is the volume concentration of bubbles. Thus, the effective viscosity increases with nucleation of gas bubbles in magma. This result reduces the effect of a thermal feedback evele which is postulated as a possible thermodynamical process in viscous magma in a volcanic conduit.
