Spatially Varying

Summary Elongate inclusions immersed in a viscous fluid generally rotate at a rate that is different from the local angular velocity of the flow. Often, a net alignment of the inclusions develops, and the resulting shape preferred orientation (SPO) of the particle ensemble can then be used as a strain marker that allows reconstruction of the fluid’s velocity field. Much of the previous work on the dynamics of flow-induced particle rotations has focused on spatially homogeneous flows with large-scale tectonic deformations as the main application. Recently, the theory has been extended to spatially varying flows, such as magma with embedded crystals moving through a volcanic plumbing system. Additionally, an evolution equation has been introduced for the probability density function (PDF) of crystal orientations. Here, we apply this new theory to a number of simple, two-dimensional flow geometries commonly encountered in magmatic intrusions, such as flow from a dyke into a reservoir or from a reservoir into a dyke, flow inside an inflating or deflating reservoir, flow in a dyke with a sharp bend, and thermal convection in a magma chamber. The main purpose is to provide a guide for interpreting field observations and for setting up more complex flow models with embedded crystals. As a general rule, we find that a larger aspect ratio of the embedded crystals causes a more coherent alignment of the crystals, while it has only a minor effect on the geometry of the alignment pattern. Due to various perturbations in the crystal rotation equations that are expected in natural systems, we show that the time-periodic behavior found in idealized systems is probably short-lived in nature, and the crystal alignment is well described by the time-averaged solution. We also confirm some earlier findings. For example, near channel walls, fluid flow often follows the bounding surface and the resulting simple shear flow causes preferred crystal orientations that are approximately parallel to the boundary. Where pure shear deformation dominates, there is a tendency for crystals to orient themselves in the direction of the greatest tensile strain rate. Where flow impinges on a boundary, for example in an inflating magma chamber or as part of a thermal convection pattern, the stretching component of pure shear aligns with the boundary, and the crystals orient themselves in that direction. In the field, this local pattern may be difficult to distinguish from a boundary-parallel simple shear flow. Pure shear also dominates along the walls of a deflating magma chamber and in places where the flow turns away from the reservoir walls, but in these locations, the preferred crystal orientation is perpendicular to the wall. Overall, we find that our calculated patterns of crystal orientations agree well with results from analogue experiments where similar geometries are available.
