The models suggest a mechanism for uplifting of high-density mafic enclaves in a chamber/dyke filled with salic magma by gravitational floating in the enclosing granite magma that has been cooled and lost volatile components. The performed simulation shows that the main parameter controlling the shape and size of the ascending bodies is the difference in densities.

N2 - A new numerical model has been developed that makes it possible to describe the process of formation of a dyke of a combined composition on the basis of the dynamics of a viscous compressible fluid.

The models suggest a mechanism for uplifting of high-density mafic enclaves in a chamber/dyke filled with salic magma by gravitational floating in the enclosing granite magma that has been cooled and lost volatile components. The performed simulation shows that the main parameter controlling the shape and size of the ascending bodies is the difference in densities. The viscosity contrast determines whether interpenetration and hybridization of magmas occur.
