The fluid dynamics of a mud volcano effusion This captivating footage captures the effusive behavior of a mud volcano, where low-viscosity mud, gases, and fine sediments erupt through Earth’s crust under intense pore-fluid pressure. Watch how non-Newtonian flow, gas expansion, and surface deformation shape this dynamic geologic phenomenon in real-time! A perfect example of nature’s fluid mechanics at work! #MudVolcano #FluidDynamics #Geoscience #Volcanology #SedimentTransport #SubsurfaceEnergy #

The Wandan mud volcano in Taiwan has erupted approximately 11 times in the last three and a half years. But what is a mud volcano, and how do they happen? 🎧 More muddy stories: https://bbc.in/4pddffF | BBC World Service
