Particle Size-Density Relationships in Pyroclastic Deposits: Inferences for Emplacement Processes
Bulletin of Volcanology, 2002 In moving pyroclastic systems, particles are sorted as a function of their sizes, densities and shapes. The analysis of the distribution of these characteristics in particle populations of pyroclastic deposits is a major tool in evaluating properties and

Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 2013 Pyroclastic density current deposits remobilized by water during periods of heavy rainfall trigger lahars (volcanic mudflows) that affect inhabited areas at considerable distance from volcanoes, even years after an eruption.Here we present an ...

Erosional characteristics and behavior of large pyroclastic density currents
Geology, 2012Factors influencing the erosive behavior of large pyroclastic density currents (PDCs), both mainly massive and thinly stratified, are not well understood. To investigate the parameters influencing the erosive behavior of PDCs produced during the flowing phase of large, caldera-forming Plinian (Campanian Ignimbrite) and phreatoplinian (Neapolitan Yellow

Generation of Overspill Pyroclastic Density Currents in Sinuous Channels
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2021AbstractDue to their mobility, high velocities, and common occurrence, small‐volume pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) represent a major hazard around volcanoes. Small‐volume events are particularly sensitive to topography and channelization into drainage basins. Understanding the flow transition initiated by avulsion or overspill from valley confined

Abstract High-speed, gravity-driven flows of hot particles and gas are a common and highly destructive product of explosive volcanism. They range widely in nature from expanded, turbulent suspension currents formed by lateral blasts or by the fountaining of vertical eruption columns, to highly concentrated granular avalanches ...

Revaluating the Vertical Velocity and Density Structure of Dilute Pyroclastic Density Currents
2023Dilute pyroclastic density currents (dilute PDCs) are frequent and hazardous volcanic phenomena. Better mitigating against PDC hazards requires understanding of the vertical velocity and density structures inside flows and how these are modified during flow runout, particle sedimentation, air entrainment and buoyancy reversal.

The Fluid Mechanics of Pyroclastic Density Currents
Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2016Pyroclastic density currents are generated in explosive volcanic eruptions when gas and particle mixtures remain denser than the surrounding atmosphere. These mobile currents have a diversity of flow regimes, from energetic granular flows to turbulent suspensions. Given their hazardous nature, much of our understanding of the internal dynamics of these

Effects of flow density on the dynamics of dilute pyroclastic density currents
Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 2004Abstract Dilute turbulent pyroclastic density currents may have densities as large as 10–100 kg m −3 . Laboratory experiments using dense gases show that for such currents, the speed of the head of the current depends on the density difference between the current and the surrounding air in a complex way.

Density Stratification and Buoyancy Evolution in Pyroclastic Density Currents
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid EarthAbstractPyroclastic density currents (PDCs) are density‐stratified along their vertical axis, with the near‐bed portion being denser than the upper portion, resulting from particle settling and ambient air entrainment at current margins. Whereas vertical density stratification likely influences mixing, sedimentation, and buoyancy of PDCs, many depth ...
