A new view of the dynamics, stability and longevity of volcanic clouds

G Carazzo, AM Jellinek - Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2012 - Elsevier
Powerful explosive volcanic eruptions inject ash high into the atmosphere, which spreads to
form umbrella clouds. Identifying key physical processes governing the dynamics, stability …

Near field brine discharge modelling part 1: Analysis of commercial tools

P Palomar, JL Lara, IJ Losada, M Rodrigo, A Alvárez - Desalination, 2012 - Elsevier
Desalination has gained importance as an alternative water source. Brine effluent is a sub-
product of desalination and can have negative effects on marine ecosystems. Numerical …

Dynamic interaction of multiple buoyant jets

ACH Lai, JHW Lee - Journal of fluid mechanics, 2012 - cambridge.org
An array of closely spaced round buoyant jets interact dynamically due to the pressure field
induced by jet entrainment. Mutual jet attraction can result in a significant change in jet …

3-D numerical simulations of eruption column collapse: Effects of vent size on pressure-balanced jet/plumes

YJ Suzuki, T Koyaguchi - Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal …, 2012 - Elsevier
Buoyant columns or pyroclastic flows form during explosive volcanic eruptions. In the
transition-state, these two eruption styles can develop simultaneously. We investigated the …

Unsteady turbulent plume models

MM Scase, RE Hewitt - Journal of fluid mechanics, 2012 - cambridge.org
Four existing integral models of unsteady turbulent plumes are revisited. We demonstrate
that none of these published models is ideal for general descriptions of unsteady behaviour …

Escaping mass approach for inclined plane and round buoyant jets

PC Yannopoulos, AA Bloutsos - Journal of fluid mechanics, 2012 - cambridge.org
An integral model predicting the mean flow and mixing properties of inclined plane and
round turbulent buoyant jets in a motionless environment of uniform density is proposed …

Impact of reduced near‐field entrainment of overpressured volcanic jets on plume development

F Saffaraval, SA Solovitz, DE Ogden… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Volcanic plumes are often studied using one‐dimensional analytical models, which use an
empirical entrainment ratio to close the equations. Although this ratio is typically treated as …

Analytical solutions for turbulent Boussinesq fountains in a linearly stratified environment

R Mehaddi, O Vauquelin, F Candelier - Journal of fluid mechanics, 2012 - cambridge.org
This paper theoretically investigates the initial up-flow of a vertical turbulent fountain (round
or plane) in a linearly stratified environment. Conservation equations (volume, momentum …

Flow behaviour of negatively buoyant jets in immiscible ambient fluid

A Geyer, JC Phillips, M Mier-Torrecilla, SR Idelsohn… - Experiments in …, 2012 - Springer
In this paper we investigate experimentally the injection of a negatively buoyant jet into a
homogenous immiscible ambient fluid. Experiments are carried out by injecting a jet of dyed …

A simplified computational analysis of turbulent plumes and jets

DM Hargreaves, MM Scase, I Evans - Environmental fluid mechanics, 2012 - Springer
The application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), particularly Large Eddy Simulation,
for the modelling of buoyant turbulent plumes, has been demonstrated to be very accurate …
