Hunting for the Deterministic Template(s) Three General Themes: Overview and exemplify multiphase code GMFIX Hyberbolic-only approach Possible directions (In the Hollow of a Wave at Kanagawa, Hokusai) "No one believes the results of computational fluid dynamics except the one who performed the calculations, and everyone believes experimental results except the one who performed the experiment."

KFIX to MFIX toGMFIX Eulerian-Eulerian non-equilibrium multiphase, 3-d, non-steady, enthalpy, reactions 2) SIMPLE algorithm, 2’d order accurate discretization, under-relaxation, variable time-step, iterative linear eq solvers: SOR and conjugate gradient 3) F90, SMP or DMP (MPICH) parallel
KFIX to MFIX toGMFIX (cont’d.) 4) Convergence criteria- accept only part of solution that does not change with a factor 10 increase in tolerance 5) (V)LES, static Smagorinsky 6) Well validated for fluidized beds at bench scales- but at geological scales to be discussed…

Remarks on multiphase flow features Empirical, complex inter-and–within phase momentum transfer equations allow particle volume fraction to vary significantly But significant challenges for VLES in sedimentation and boundary region (Dragon Escaping on Smoke from Mt. Fuji, Hokusai)
Remarks on multiphase flow features (cont’d.) “Ingeneral, fallout of suspended pyroclasts seems reasonably well understood.” (1997) • Stokes number can dramatically influence sedimentation (Burgisser & Bergantz, 2002) gives rise to meso-scale structures • 2) Turbulence intensity enhanced or attenuated by particles • Both challenging to address in a numerical model "Stokes number is the key dimensionless number for the dynamics of relative particle motions in the global flow parameterization." Kaminski & Jaupart (1997)

Plinian column modeling: Our results are in a good agreement: - with satellite observations of the undercooling at the top of the Plinian cloud (both in magnitude and with time) - with experimental data and previous numerical modeling of buoyant plume (velocity profiles, density profiles, …)
Plinian column modeling: • However, the details of the cloud dynamic reveal unsuspected phenomena: • Complex velocity and density distribution within the column • Positive buoyancy on the edges of the column (where it is the most turbulent), while the core is collapsing • Presence of giant vertical vortices • Non-homogenous temperature profiles within the plume (undercooled pockets) • The overall altitude is time-dependent and fluctuates with time • Complex pressure distribution profiles with time
Hyperbolic MethodsRandy LeVeque, CLAWPACK Advective terms only, excellent for shocks or ‘front tracking.’ Fast, explicit (but semi-implicit coming) Perhaps a terrific tool for field, rapid laptop assessment (Red Fuji, Hokusai)
Future Directions (Mount Asama, Hiroshige, 1859) Invite and enable community with regular workshops, dialog, mutual support Hierarchical modeling tools • Towards a “universal” multi-phase, multi-species flow codes applied to geophysical-volcanological problems • It can be used for highly-loaded situations (turbidities, pyroclastic flows) and for dilute ones (pyroclastic surges, plinian column, co-ignimbrites) • It does not assume unrealistic physical conditions … it is based on a well accepted physics (Navier-Stokes, continuity, 2nd law of Mechanics, 1st law of thermodynamic)
Future Directions • Development of a water micro-physics model (evaporation-condensation-sublimation) • Development of a complete sub-grid multi-phase turbulence model (in collaboration with DOE labs, NETL/ORNL) • Development of a multi-grain size model (for unimodal grain-size distribution) • Development of better viscous dissipation algorithms for shock waves/fronts
