Fluid mixing from below in unconformity-related hydrothermal ore deposits

Geological setting of iron oxide-apatite deposits in theBafq ‎district, central Iran with an emphasis on mineralogical,petrographic, and geochemical study of the Sechahun deposit

The objective of this research is to determine all processes in the magmatic evolution and related hydrothermal activities that created the volcanic rocks and associated ore-forming systems of the Bafq ‎mining district. Several iron oxide-apatite (IOA) deposits were investigated in this area with a focus on the Sechahun ore deposit. The Bafq ‎mining district is well known for hosting significan...

Hydrothermal formation of heavy rare earth element (HREE)– xenotime deposits at 100 °C in a sedimentary basin

Most rare earth element deposits form from magmatic fluids, but there have also been discoveries of heavy rare earth element (HREE)– enriched hydrothermal xenotime deposits within sedimentary basins. As xenotime is notoriously insoluble, the question arises as to whether these lesser-known deposits form at typical basin temperatures or by influx of much hotter magmatic-hydrothermal fluids. The ...

Fluid mixing from viscous fingering.

Mixing efficiency at low Reynolds numbers can be enhanced by exploiting hydrodynamic instabilities that induce heterogeneity and disorder in the flow. The unstable displacement of fluids with different viscosities, or viscous fingering, provides a powerful mechanism to increase fluid-fluid interfacial area and enhance mixing. Here we describe the dissipative structure of miscible viscous finger...
