In this paper a cellular model for the simulation of the lava flow is presented together with the results of a first implementation, considering simple situations with elementary morphologies and viscous magmas.Lava flow is viewed as a local interactions-based dynamic system with discrete time and space where space is divided in parallelepipedal cells. The computation of lava flow-down from the cells describes the evolution the phenomenon.An abstraction of the phenomenon development not in discording with field data was obtained. Cases reported here present classical situation sand compare different lava flows starting phase shaving the same morphology .
