The dynamics of explosive volcanic eruptions

AW Woods - Reviews of geophysics, 1995 - Wiley Online Library
Explosive volcanic eruptions involve the ejection of dense mixtures of ash and gas from a
volcanic vent at high speed and pressure. This mixture is generated as liquid magma rises …

The physical character of subaqueous sedimentary density flows and their deposits

T Mulder, J Alexander - Sedimentology, 2001 - Wiley Online Library
The complexity of flow and wide variety of depositional processes operating in subaqueous
density flows, combined with post‐depositional consolidation and soft‐sediment …

The dynamics of avalanches of granular materials from initiation to runout. Part I: Analysis

SB Savage, K Hutter - Acta Mechanica, 1991 - Springer

Investigation of theoretical scaling laws using large eddy simulations for airborne spreading of viral contagion from sneezing and coughing

K Liu, M Allahyari, J Salinas, N Zgheib… - Physics of …, 2021 - pubs.aip.org
Using a set of large eddy point-particle simulations, we explore the fluid dynamics of an
ejected puff resulting from a cough/sneeze. The ejection contains over 61 000 potentially …

Two-dimensional spreading of a granular avalanche down an inclined plane Part I. theory

K Hutter, M Siegel, SB Savage, Y Nohguchi - Acta Mechanica, 1993 - Springer
This paper is concerned with the motion of an unconfined finite mass of a granular material
released from rest on an inclined plane. The granular mass is treated as a frictional …

Mixing in flows down gentle slopes into stratified environments

PG Baines - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2001 - cambridge.org
Observations of the flow of dense fluid into uniformly density-stratified environments down
plane slopes with small inclination to the horizontal ([les] 20°) are described, and a …

Experimental study on self‐accelerating turbidity currents

OE Sequeiros, H Naruse, N Endo… - Journal of …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
