Geyser Eruption Cycle: Boiling Point with Depth, Conduit Recharge and Flash Steam Blender 5.2

A geyser drawn as a cutaway: heated water in a narrow conduit cannot boil while the weight of the water above it holds the boiling point up. Drag to orbit, wheel or pinch to zoom, right-drag to pan. No people or animals are shown.

Scenarios

Geyser plumbing and heat

Heat, recharge rate and recharge temperature act at once; the geometry and altitude rebuild the geyser and settle it to its steady cycle.

Water colour

Blue is cool, green about 80 C, orange and red are close to the local boiling point.

Wind

Time of day

Live readouts

Experiment: interval against heat power

Question

Press Run sweep. Each point is a separate geyser run to its steady cycle (the live geyser is not disturbed).
