A fluid-dynamic model is developed to numerically simulate the non-equilibrium dynamics of polydisperse gas-particle mixtures forming volcanic plumes. Starting from the three-dimensional N-phase Eulerian transport equations for a mixture of gases and solid particles, we adopt an asymptotic...

Ash Dispersal Forecast and Civil Aviation Workshop - Model Benchmark Document
15 Feb 2011 | Contributor(s):: Costanza Bonadonna, Arnau Folch
One of the main objectives of the IAVCEI-WMO Ash dispersal forecast and civil aviation workshop was to investigate the variability of existing Volcanic Ash Transport and Dispersal Models (VATDM) in order to identify new improved strategies of dispersal forecasting, e.g. probability/ensemble...

Ash Dispersal Forecast and Civil Aviation Workshop - Consensual Document
15 Feb 2011 | Contributor(s):: Costanza Bonadonna, Arnau Folch
As a result of the serious consequences of the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption on civil aviation, more than 50 volcanologists, meteorologists, atmospheric dispersion modellers, and space and ground-based monitoring specialists from 12 different countries (including representatives from 6...
