Abstract
A thermohydrodynamic model of the magma-geothermal system of the Mutnovsky volcano was developed. The temperatures and hydrodynamic fields in the fluid conduction zone and volcanic edifice were calculated. Both convective and conductive heat transfer in the rocks were considered. The influences of rock permeability, depth of the magma chamber, and fluid pressure on the process character were investigated. The possible range of chamber depths was calculated.
