Mud flow levitation on Mars: Insights from laboratory simulations

•Lab experiments study the behaviour of mud flows under martian atmospheric pressure.•Once the low-viscosity mud flows over a warm (∼295 K) surface, it starts to boil.•Boiling releases gas which is capable to erode the surface and channelise the flow.•The escaping gas causes levitation of the mud re...
