Modelling of multiphase flows on adaptive unstructured meshes with applications to the dynamics of volcanic ash plumes

This thesis describes the development of two numerical models for the study of (1) incompressible multiphase flow and (2) compressible multiphase flow. Both models employ a state-of-the-art adaptive unstructured mesh-based approach which allows the mesh, upon which the model equations are discretise...
