This work presents a new method to measure model independent viscosities of inhomogeneous materials at high temperatures. Many mechanisms driving volcanic eruptions are strongly influenced by the viscous properties of the participating materials. Since an eruption takes place at temperatures at which these materials (predominantly silicate melts) are not completely molten, typically inhomogeneities, like e.g. equilibrium and non-equilibrium crystals, are present in the system. In order to incorporate such inhomogeneities into objective material parameters the viscosity measurement is based on a rotational viscometer in a wide gap Couette setup. The gap size between the two concentric cylinders was designed as large as possible in order to account for the inhomogeneities. The emerging difficulties concerning the model independent data reduction from measured values to viscosities are solved using an appropriate interpolation scheme. The method was applied to a material representative for the majority of volcanic eruptions on earth: a typical continental basaltic rock (Billstein/Rhön/Germany). The measured viscosities show a strong shear rate dependency, which surprises, because basaltic melt has been, until now, assumed to behave as a Newtonian fluid. Since a non-Newtonian material shows a very different relaxation behavior in the Couette motion compared to a Newtonian one (which, ultimately, does not show any), and a strong relaxation signal was recorded during viscosity measurements, the equations of Couette motion were investigated. The time dependent stress distribution in a material due to a quasi step-like velocity change at the inner Couette radius (i.e. the spindle) was considered. The results show that a material combining a linear shear modulus and a Newtonian viscosity -- a Maxwell material -- cannot quantify the relaxation behavior. This could be considered as a hint, that the widely used Maxwell relaxation times cannot be applied as a 1:1 mapping from microscopic considerations to macroscopic situations.
