Validation of a two-layer depth-averaged model by comparison with an experimental dilute stratified pyroclastic density current

open access: yesBulletin of Volcanology, 2021
Numerical results of a two-layer depth-averaged model of pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) were compared with an experimental PDC generated at the international eruption simulator facility (the Pyroclastic flow Eruption Large-scale Experiment (PELE ...

Reproducing pyroclastic density current deposits of the 79 CE eruption of the Somma–Vesuvius volcano using the box-model approach [PDF]

open access: yesSolid Earth, 2021
We use PyBox, a new numerical implementation of the box-model approach, to reproduce pyroclastic density current (PDC) deposits from the Somma–Vesuvius volcano (Italy).

A Confidence-Based Assessment Method for Distinguishing Pyroclastic Density Current Deposits From Other Volcaniclastic Units

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2020
Pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) are a destructive volcanic hazard. Quantifying the types, frequency and magnitudes of PDC events is essential for effective risk management, but since historical records at best extend a few hundred years this usually ...

Eruption Style, Emplacement Dynamics and Geometry of Peralkaline Ignimbrites: Insights From the Lajes-Angra Ignimbrite Formation, Terceira Island, Azores

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Ignimbrites are relatively uncommon on ocean island volcanoes and yet they constitute a significant portion of the stratigraphy of Terceira Island (Azores). The Lajes-Angra Ignimbrite Formation (ca.

New developments in the analysis of column-collapse pyroclastic density currents through numerical simulations of multiphase flows [PDF]

open access: yesSolid Earth, 2012
A granular multiphase model has been used to evaluate the action of differently sized particles on the dynamics of fountains and associated pyroclastic density currents.

Construction of probabilistic event trees for eruption forecasting at Sinabung volcano, Indonesia 2013-14 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Eruptions of Sinabung volcano, Indonesia have been ongoing since 2013. Since that time, the character of eruptions has changed, from phreatic to phreatomagmatic to magmatic explosive eruptions, and from production of a lava dome that collapsed to a ...

Generation of Overspill Pyroclastic Density Currents

open access: yes, 2021
Pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) are composed of hot gas and glass like ash or rocks. They can be very mobile, flowing over obstacles with ease but their pathway is often controlled by the topography they flow over. When a PDC is confined to valley it increases the distance it can travel but the PDC can overflow from the valley unexpectedly ...

Pyroclastic density currents associated with the 2015 phreatomagmatic eruption of the Kuchinoerabujima volcano

open access: yesEarth, Planets and Space, 2018
A pyroclastic density current (PDC) was observed with the phreatomagmatic eruption of the Kuchinoerabujima volcano, southern Japan, on May 29, 2015. The PDC flowed down in all direction from the source crater, forming three major branches.

Reconstruction of the 29th December 2013 Eruption of San Miguel Volcano, El Salvador, using Video, Photographs and Pyroclastic Deposits

open access: yesVolcanica, 2022
San Miguel (or Chaparrastique) volcano, El Salvador, erupted on the 29th December 2013, after almost 40 years of quiescence. Initial vent-clearing explosions ejected ballistic blocks and produced a pyroclastic density current (PDC) that flowed down the ...
