Outline of Final Research Achievements

An attempt is made to experimentally and numerically verify a hypothesis that volcanic tremor is originated from flow-induced vibration of an underground magma conduit. A tank filled with a gel medium that includes a vertical plate-like conduit is prepared and a flow of a viscous fluid is maintained through the conduit; but no self-oscillation is observed. Linear stability analysis is made for a flow through a cylindrical conduit with an elliptic cross section. It is shown that a Rayleigh wave of which a wavelength is as long as the major axis of the ellipse can be destabilized at a significantly slow flow speed. This suggests that there might be a relation between the facts that a natural dike has an upper limit in its width and that there is un upper limit in oscillation period of volcanic tremor.
