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

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. The model takes into account the overall disequilibrium conditions between a gas phase and several solid phases, each characterize...
