Simple one-dimensional modelling of cooling of a basaltic lava flow. (a) Model set-up, showing the initial geometry and giving the parameters used (T, temperature; ρ, volumetric mass; k, thermal conductivity; cp, heat capacity). (b) Plot of temperature versus depth showing the results of the simulation after different times t. (c) Maximum temperature reached for each point of the model.
