The "lava" in a lava lamp is just melted colored wax. Convection currents cause blobs of the wax to rise and fall in the clear mineral oil mixture.
the homemade lava lamp is a mixture of oil and water as oil and water are insoluble in each other . we choose oil and water because they both have very same density .
Colored paraffin wax and waterThe lava in a lava lamp is made out of oil, water, and carbon tetrachloride, commonly used in fire extinguishers.

The food coloring stays at the bottom of the vegetable oil.

No. There are no models available that can analyze a specific lava lamp and predict the pattern of the wax suspended in the oil. There are too many specifics that vary from one lamp to another. The specific position of the lamp in the base, for one. The continually varying temperature of the wax, oil, container, ambient surroundings. All of these things and more are involved in the creation of the patterns observed.
The Lava Lamp was invented by Edward Craven Walker and first went on sale in 1963. Walker was inspired by a lamp he saw in a bar 15 years earlier, and eventually perfected the "lava" recipe, using a combination of oil, wax, and various other solids. Originally marketed in Europe under the name Astro Lamp, it was eventually brought to the states by two American entrepreneurs and sold as the Lava Lite lamp.
A classic lamp contains a standard incandescent bulb or halogen lamp which heats a tall (often tapered) glass bottle. A formula from 1968 U.S. patent consisted of water and a transparent, translucent or opaque mix of mineral oil, paraffin wax and carbon tetrachloride. The clear water and/or mineral oil can optionally be colored with transparent dyes.
