Title: Vapor-Dominated Zones within Hydrothermal Convection Systems

Conference ·
OSTI ID:888639

Three conceptual models are presented to illustrate the range of natural hydrothermal convection systems in which vapor-dominated conditions are found. Numerical simulation is used to test the feasibility of these models and to demonstrate geologically plausible evolutionary pathways for each model. 2 figs., 13 refs.
