- Abstract:
- Magmas and lavas are three-phase suspensions with a complex and poorly-understood rheology which controls eruptive style and, therefore, volcanic hazard. Lattice-Boltzmann models (LBMs) allow accurate and highly-efficient numerical simulation of the flow of complex materials through realistic geometries. I will collaborate with theoreticians and experts in computer simulation to develop a LBM for multiphase magmatic flows. The model, which will be validated against laboratory and field data, will allow simultaneous investigation of mesoscopic (particle level) and macroscopic (flow and volcano level) behaviour. Results will elucidate magmatic flow processes and improve the prediction of style and scale of volcanic eruptions.
