Spatial and temporal datasets for mixing of fluids in a dyke-like (slot) geometry investigated using low-temperature laboratory experiments
These spatial and temporal image datasets are of mixing fluids in a dyke-like (slot) geometry investigated using low-temperature laboratory experiments which are described in the paper Analogue experiments to investigate magma mixing within dykes (Havard et al., in review in Bulletin of Volcanology, January 2025). The experiments are low-temperature analogue models of magma mixing within dykes and are dynamically scaled to the natural system. Seven unique experiments using seven different miscible fluid pairs, representing two magmas of differing composition, were conducted at the University of Liverpool. The miscible fluid pairs were (and the shortened experiment name is): water and diluted glycerol (ExpW1); water and pure glycerol (ExpW2); water and glycerol mixed with golden syrup (ExpW3); water and pure golden syrup (ExpW4); diluted glycerol and pure glycerol (ExpD1); pure glycerol and diluted golden syrup (ExpG1); pure glycerol and pure golden syrup (ExpG2). The experiment setup consisted of the lower density fluid placed above the higher density fluid in the tank apparatus, then the tank was inverted to initiate the interaction between the fluids. The raw data is a temporal series of photographs (JPGs) collected over the course of each experiment located within the subdirectories “Raw”. The raw data is processed using the scripts accompanying the dataset to show how density and mixing evolves spatially and temporally within the slot. Further details are available in the directory metadata file.

The raw photograph data were collected during fluid mixing experiments in a tank with a dyke-like (slot) geometry. The Matlab scripts were used to calibrate and process the raw data to visualise and extract the spatial and temporal evolution of the fluid density and mixing extent (how mixed) of the fluids within the slot. Spatiotemporal plots were created from the processed data.
