aggregates that cumulatively have larger sizes, lower densities, and higher terminal fall …

A review of tephra transport and dispersal models: Evolution, current status, and future perspectives

A Folch - Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 2012 - Elsevier

Magmatic versus phreatomagmatic fragmentation: absence of evidence is not evidence of absence

JDL White, GA Valentine - Geosphere, 2016 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Fragmentation processes in eruptions are commonly contrasted as phreatomagmatic or
magmatic; the latter requires only fragmentation of magma without external intervention, but …

A model for wet aggregation of ash particles in volcanic plumes and clouds: 1. Theoretical formulation

A Costa, A Folch, G Macedonio - Journal of Geophysical …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
We develop a model to describe ash aggregates in a volcanic plume. The model is based
on a solution of the classical Smoluchowski equation, obtained by introducing a similarity …
