The Fluid Mechanics of Pyroclastic Density Currents

Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2016
Pyroclastic 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.

Pyroclastic density currents: state of the art and perspectives

Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 2014
Pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) are mixtures of two components, namely solid particles and fluid (gas) phase. They macroscopically behave as dense, multiphase gravity currents (flowing pyroclastic mixtures of particles and gas) immersed in a less dense, almost isotropic fluid (the atmosphere).

Generation of Overspill Pyroclastic Density Currents in Sinuous Channels

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2021
AbstractDue 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

Pyroclastic density currents

Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 1998
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 ...

Erosional characteristics and behavior of large pyroclastic density currents

Geology, 2012
Factors 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 air lubrication within pyroclastic density currents

Nature Geoscience, 2019
Pyroclastic density currents are highly dangerous ground-hugging currents from volcanoes that cause >50% of volcanic fatalities globally. These hot mixtures of volcanic particles and gas exhibit remarkable fluidity, which allows them to transport thousands to millions of tonnes of volcanic material across the Earth’s surface over tens to hundreds of ...

Density Stratification and Buoyancy Evolution in Pyroclastic Density Currents

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth
AbstractPyroclastic 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 ...
