Abstract The ingestion of volcanic ash by jet engines is widely recognized as a potentially fatal hazard for aircraft operation. high temperatures (1,200–2,000 °C) typical exacerbate the impact provoking its melting and sticking to turbine parts. Estimation this potential complicated fact that chemical composition, which affects temperature at becomes liquid, can vary amongst volcanoes. Here, based on experiments, we parameterize behaviour develop model predict conditions global...

Volcanic eruptions are regulated by the rheology of magmas and their ability to degas. Both detail evolution stresses within ascending subvolcanic magma. But as magma is forced through ductile-brittle transition, new pathways emerge cracks nucleate, propagate, coalesce, constructing a permeable network. Current analyses dynamics center on models glass neglecting important aspects such incremental strain accommodation (the key monitoring tool of) seismicity. Here, in combined-methods study,...

Abstract Explosivity in erupting volcanoes is controlled by the degassing dynamics and viscosity of ascending magma conduit. Magma crystallisation enhances both heterogeneous bubble nucleation increases bulk viscosity. Nanolite has been suggested to enhance such processes too, but a noticeably higher extent. Yet precise causes resultant strong increase remain unclear. Here we report experimental results for rapid nanolite natural silicic extent subsequent increase. Nanolite-free...

Abstract Volcanic ash is often deposited in a hot state. containing glass, above the glass transition interval, has potential to sinter viscously both itself (particle‐particle) and exposed surfaces. Here we constrain kinetics of this process experimentally under nonisothermal conditions using standard glasses. In absence external load, dominantly driven by surface relaxation. such cases sintering rate limited melt viscosity, size particles melt‐vapor interfacial tension. We propose...

Rheological variations have been postulated as the cause of transitions from effusive to explosive volcanic eruption style. Rheology is integrally linked composition and textural state (porosity, crystallinity) magma well stress, temperature strain rate operative during flow.

Storage and transport of silicate melts in the Earth's crust their emplacement on planet's surface occur almost exclusively at sub-liquidus temperatures. At these conditions, undergo crystallization under a wide range cooling-rates, deformation-rates, oxygen fugacities (fO2). Oxygen fugacity is known to influence thermodynamics kinetics magmas lavas. Yet, its rheology remains largely uncharted. We present first rheological characterization crystallizing lavas along natural cooling paths...

Abstract Degassing dynamics play a crucial role in controlling the explosivity of magma at erupting volcanoes. magmatic water typically involves bubble nucleation and growth, which drive ascent. Crystals suspended may influence both growth bubbles. Micron- to centimeter-sized crystals can cause heterogeneous facilitate coalescence.
