    Pyroclastic flow hazard assessment at Vesuvius (Italy) by using numerical modeling. I.Large scale dynamics (2015)
    Springer Berlin Heidelberg
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: The thermofluid dynamics of pyroclastic flows down the slopes of Vesuvius (Italy) were investigated using physical modeling of the magma ascent and pyroclastic dispersal processes. The expected properties and conditions of the magma, such as its anhydrous composition, water content, and temperature, were based on the present knowledge of the magmatic system and were used as input data for the magma ascent model. The predicted vent conditions were used to define the boundary conditions for the simulation of pyroclastic flow dispersal along selected two-dimensional axisymmetric profiles, representative of the southern and northern slopes of Vesuvius. The model employed describes the temporal evolution of a three-phase mixture composed of a continuous gas phase and two solid phases representative of fine and coarse particles. The specific terrain roughness of the slopes of Vesuvius, caused by the presence of pine woods and urban settlements, was also estimated and accounted for by the model. Several simulations were carried out by assuming different magmatic compositions (in terms of water content and temperature), eruption intensities, topographic profiles, and flow duration. Pyroclastic flow dynamics appear to be strongly influenced by the fountain and atmospheric dynamics showing complex, unsteady, and, in some cases, non-intuitive behaviors. The mass flow-rate per unit angle of propagation of the flow proves to be the most critical parameter controlling the run-out and, therefore, the hazard on the slopes of Vesuvius. The two-dimensional topographic profiles employed also appear to significantly affect the flow propagation. Simulation outputs allow the quantification of the spatial and temporal evolution of several flow variables that are critical in hazard mitigation studies. The analysis of these variables is extensively described in a companion paper (Esposti Ongaro et al. 2002, this volume).

    Dynamic feeder dyke systems in basaltic volcanoes: the exceptional example o fthe 1809 Etna eruption (Italy) (2015)
    Nature Publishing Group
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-04-04
    Description: In this paper, we describe the 1809 eruption of Mt. Etna, Italy, which represents one historical rare case in which it is possible to observe details of the internal structure of the feeder system. This is possible thanks to the presence of two large pit craters located in the middle of the eruptive fracture field that allow studying a section of the shallow feeder system. Along the walls of one of these craters, we analysed well-exposed cross sections of the uppermost 15–20 m of the feeder system and related volcanic products. Here, we describe the structure, morphology and lithology of this portion of the 1809 feeder system, including the host rock which conditioned the propagation of the dyke, and compare the results with other recent eruptions. Finally, we propose the dynamic model of the magma behaviour inside a laterally-propagating feeder dyke, demonstrating how this dynamic triggered important changes in the eruptive style (from effusive/Strombolian to phreatomagmatic) during the same eruption. Our results are also useful for hazard assessment related to the development of flank eruptions, potentially the most hazardous type of eruption from basaltic volcanoes in densely urbanized areas, such as Mt. Etna.
