Building Black Holes: Analogue experiments and analogical reasoning
Analogue experiments investigate empirically accessible ‘source’ systems that are meant to mirror the behaviour of less accessible ‘target’ systems. This disseration aims to answer two questions about analogue experiments. First, what are they useful for? Second, how do analogical reasoning and the …

Mountains of wax : continental collision in scaled thermomechanical analogue experiments and data analysis
Thermomechanische Analogmodelle kontinentaler Kollisionen erfordern <br>die Simulation der ganzen Lithosphäre. Für die Skalierung <br>muß der thermische Ausgleich während der Deformation <br>erfaßt werden. Hierfür wird eine neuartige Apparatur <br>zur Deformation thermisch geschichteter Modelle …

Pueblos, Planets, and Permian Puzzles: The Perils and Promise of Analogical Evidence in the Historical Sciences
… past. In particular, I introduce the notion of analogue experiments: controlled interventions on material or homomorphic analogues that generate new empirical data, allowing historical scientists to test hypotheses much like their experimental counterparts. The thesis develops a …

Degassing Behaviour of Basaltic Open Vent Volcanoes
… mixture and particles, was investigated. These analogue experiments provides the framework of a model for episodic slug formations. The gas pressure at the base of the conduit is large enough to overcome the yield stress of crystal-rich magma and form gas channels within the pack. At a critical …

The fluid dynamics of pressure die casting processes
… within a one single shot cavity filling in water analogue experiments. A discussion, conclusions and suggestions for further study of the subject concerned are presented in Chapters 6 and Chapter 7.

Dynamics of deep-submarine explosive eruptions
… particle-laden fountains. We perform a series of analogue experiments and examine the impact of particle separation on the structure of the flow. We develop the theory for single-phase fountains in a crossflow to identify the location of particle separation on the flow. Using field data on the …

Deciphering the thermal evolution of small planetary bodies.
… models. In this work, I have used novel analogue experiments to identify the key physics involved in inwards crystallization in asteroid cores. These experiments have allowed the identification of a new core crystallisation mechanism in which iron crystals form below the CMB and fall into …

Organic complexation in karst cave systems: implications for transition metal incorporation into speleothems
… by means of competitive ligand exchange experiments. Performed on water samples and soil extracts from eight Aotearoa New Zealand caves, the findings demonstrated that natural organic ligands decisively limit transition metal availability (by example of Co, Ni, Cu) at the …
