Abstract

The flow of material in the form of solutions of chemical components in H2 O- or CO2 -bearing fluids
or as melts is a common feature of many deforming metamorphic rocks. This chapter addresses fluid
transfer in rocks. We do not consider coupling to deformation or chemical reactions and processes in
detail but concentrate on the coupling to thermal effects expressed as thermal advection and
convection in both two and three dimensions including within fault zones. Transport mechanisms
such as grain boundary diffusion, pore flow, open fracture flow and fluidised bed flow are
considered. Within these processes, nanopore, laminar, chaotic, convective, mixed and turbulent
flow can be recognised depending on the dimensionless numbers of Knudsen , Reynolds , Peclet and
Rayleigh. We concentrate on Darcy flow with drivers for fluid flow derived from topographic
gradients, from thermal buoyancy, from super-hydrostatic fluid pressure gradients, gradients derived
from devolatilisation and melting and from deformation. We particularly examine thermal convection
in systems with vertical flow-through. A long established theorem proposes minimum dissipation as a
guiding principle in defining the flow pattern that actually exists in porous rocks given imposed fluid
velocity boundary conditions. The relationship of this principle to entropy production principles is
considered. We revisit various models for crustal flow systems. An important concept in this regard is
continuity of fluid flux in fluid flow-through systems; this precludes the concept of a ‘fluid cap’ or ‘seal’
in active metamorphic systems.
