Factors Controlling the Runout Distance of Pyroclastic Density Currents - Olivier Roche

Explore the factors influencing the runout distance of pyroclastic density currents in this 29-minute conference talk by Olivier Roche from IRD-UCA. Delivered as part of the "Atmospheres, Oceans, Earths -- Unifying perspectives on geophysical and environmental multiphase flows" conference at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, the presentation delves into the latest research on geophysical and environmental fluid flows involving bubbles, drops, and particles. Gain insights from field observations, laboratory experiments, numerical simulations, and theoretical approaches that have advanced our understanding of multiphase geophysical flows. Discover how these findings apply to various phenomena, from cloud dynamics to granular material transport over complex and erodible surfaces.
