Title
Self-Fluidization of Fastly-Moving Granular Gravity Currents with Implication on Pyroclastic Flows
Conference Dates
May 13-17, 2007
Abstract
The fast motion of gravity currents of group A granular solids is studied with a focus on the dynamical structure of the frontal zone. The frontal zone of the current is “immobilized” and observed in a fixed frame of reference by letting the current flow inside a rotary drum, big enough to make curvature effects negligible. The establishment of a variety of flow regimes, including intermittent avalanching, periodic “plunging breaking” and permanent fluidization of the granular solids in the frontal zone, can be related to flow conditions and to the nature of the granular solids.
