| 内容記述 | A mathematical model of one-dimensional, steady duct flow of a mixture of gas and small solid particles (rock), has been applied to the earth and the moon under geometrically and dynamically similar conditions to simulate explosive eruption conditions. Numerical results for equilibrium two-phase flows for lunar and terrestrial explosive eruptions under similar conditions indicate that: (1) a lunar explosive vent is much larger than the corresponding terrestrial vent, (2) the exit velocity from the lunar explosive flow may be higher than the lunar escape velocity, but the exit velocity of terrestrial explosive flow is much less than that of the lunar case (this result supports the hypothesis that Australian tektites came from the moon as a stream of a mixture of rock and gas of extremely high speed), and (3) the thermal effects on the lunar explosive flows are much larger than those of the terrestrial case. |
