Pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) are dangerous multiphase flows originating from
volcanic eruptions. PDCs cause more than a third of volcanic fatalities globally and …

Pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) are mixtures of two components, namely solid particles
and fluid (gas) phase. They macroscopically behave as dense, multiphase gravity currents …

Volcanic eruptions on land create hot and fast pyroclastic density currents, triggering
tsunamis or surges that travel over water where they reach the ocean. However, no field …

The large explosive eruption of Merapi volcano, Indonesia, in 2010 presented a key, and
rare, opportunity to study the impacts of a major explosive eruption in a densely populated …

Pyroclastic density currents are generated in explosive volcanic eruptions when gas and
particle mixtures remain denser than the surrounding atmosphere. These mobile currents …

Explosive volcanic super-eruptions of several hundred cubic kilometres or more generate
long run-out pyroclastic density currents the dynamics of which are poorly understood and …

Pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) are the most lethal threat from volcanoes. While there
are two main types of PDCs (fully turbulent, fully dilute pyroclastic surges and more …

Modelling has been used in the study of volcanic systems for more than 100 years, building
upon the approach first applied by Sir James Hall in 1815. Informed by observations of …

Pyroclastic surges are lethal hazards from volcanoes that exhibit enormous destructiveness
through dynamic pressures of 100–102 kPa inside flows capable of obliterating reinforced …

Pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) are hazardous and destructive phenomena that pose a
significant threat to communities living in the proximity of active volcanoes. PDCs are ground …
