Abstract: Based on the classical nucleation theory, the effect of viscosity on bubble nucleation in water-saturated magma has been studied. A comparison with experimental data proves that viscosity has a pronounced effect on the rate of homogeneous nucleation in magma.

Keywords: homogeneous nucleation, supersaturation, bubbles, viscosity, magma.
