Abstract
In Chap. 2, we mentioned that lava was a non-Newtonian fluid, and discussed a variety of state-of-the-art constitutive laws that crudely model some of the properties of such fluids. In the current chapter, we go further in this direction and describe more developments of a theoretical model for lava flows. Lava flows have recently been the subject of a review by Griffiths [1] (see also Chap. 6). Our aim here is to illustrate the use of viscoplastic rheological models in this problem.
