A Fluidisation Mechanism for Secondary Hydroeruptions in Pyroclastic Flow Deposits

Heating of water under hot pyroclastic flow deposits can drive hydroeruptions, forming craters and aprons of secondary deposits. According to the established conceptual model, steam pressure builds until failure of the pyroclastic overburden and a relatively low permeability (fine-grained) cap promo...
