N2 - Consideration of the effects of magma ascending and solidification is important to the further understanding of ore body formation and mineralization in the crust of the Earth. Although various possible fundamental mechanisms of magma ascending in the crust are proposed (Johnson and Pollard, 1973, Marsh 1982, Lister and Kerr 1991, Rubin 1995, Weinberg 1996, Bons et al. 2001), the development of numerical algorithms for simulating the proposed magma ascending mechanisms is still under-developed. For example, continuum-mechanics-based numerical methods have encountered serious difficulties in simulating the random generation and propagation of hydro-fractured cracks, the magma flow within these cracks, the solidification of the ascending magma due to heat losses to the surrounding rocks, and so forth.
