Abstract

This paper reports the preliminary results of computer simulation of the free thermal convection of fluids in a residual thermal field of a consolidated shallow magma chamber related to caldera formation. The deeply penetrating thermoconvective circulation of fluids provided conditions for mobilization and transportation of uranium from the vast area under the caldera to the ore deposition sites.
