Summary
Descriptions of the processes of crystallization and cooling of a planar intrusion body and its environs are compared by applying the frequently used Jaeger-Carslaw, adjusted Feoktistov-Feoktistova nad modified Lovering methods.
These comparisons indicate that the mathematical complications of the Feoktistov-Feoktistova method are outweighted by its better accuracy as well as by the fact that the process of computation is the same for any time and any ratio of thermal properties of lava and neighbouring rocks.
The comparisons imply that for dimensionless time, τ≳0.7, the modified Lovering method can be practically used also in the close surroundings of the contact.
