Fluidization in pyroclastic flows
Powder TechnologyPyroclastic flows are mixtures of gas and particles generated by gravitational collapse of lava domes or fall-back of eruption columns during explosive eruptions. They are major natural hazards because they can propagate far away from the source at speeds that largely exceed those of most natural or anthropogenic granular flows.

Observations and modelling of soil slip-debris flow initiation processes in pyroclastic deposits: the Sarno 1998 event [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2003 Pyroclastic soils mantling a wide area of the Campanian Apennines are subjected to recurrent instability phenomena. This study analyses the 5 and 6 May 1998 event which affected the Pizzo d’Alvano (Campania, southern Italy).

Sedimentation and mobility of PDCs: a reappraisal of ignimbrites’ aspect ratio
Scientific Reports, 2017 The aspect ratio of ignimbrites is a commonly used parameter that has been related to the energy of the parent pyroclastic density currents (PDCs). However this parameter, calculated as the ratio between the average thickness and the average lateral ...
