adiabatic

In biology and physics, describing a process that occurs without loss or gain of heat, especially the expansion or contraction of a gas in which a change takes place in the pressure or volume, although no heat is allowed to enter or leave. Adiabatic processes can be both non-reversible and approximately reversible.

This model has made several advances over previous conduit modelling programs because it incorporates: 1) a non-Arrhenian viscosity relation for hydrous melts; 2) a relation between bulk viscosity and volume fraction gas dependant on capillary number; 3) adiabatic temperature changes using established thermodynamic relations for melts and water vapour, respectively.
