Assuming axisymmetric propagation typical of dilute currents that are little controlled by topography, we apply a simple method to estimate the runout distance of concentrated PDCs channelized in valleys. With these data, the runout distance of concentrated currents varies, as for their dilute counterparts, with the discharge rate to the power ~ 0.5, the latter being the consequence of radial propagation of the currents. This simple dependence between runout distance and discharge rate is both surprising and remarkable considering the fundamentally different natures of dilute or concentrated PDCs, which are governed by complex physics involving many parameters. This dependence further suggests that particle settling velocity, which controls the rate of decrease of the flow mass, has a second-order effect on the runout distance. We argue that the hindered settling model established for particle suspensions in a static fluid is relevant for estimating the settling velocity of particles in concentrated PDCs. Settling velocities of ~ 0.1 to 10 cm/s calculated for some natural examples correspond to deposit aggradation rates of the same order.

The plume height exceeded 58 km, and the umbrella grew to 450 km in diameter within 50 min. Assuming an umbrella thickness of 10 km, this growth rate implied an average volume injection rate into the umbrella of 330–500 km<sup>3</sup> s<sup>−1</sup>. Conventional relationships between plume height, umbrella-growth rate, and mass eruption rate suggest that this period of activity should have injected a few to several cubic kilometers of rock particles (tephra) into the plume. Yet tephra fall deposits on neighboring islands are only a few centimeters thick and can be reproduced using ash transport simulations with only 0.1–0.2 km<sup>3</sup> erupted volume (dense-rock equivalent). How could such a powerful eruption contain so little tephra? Here, we propose that seawater mixing at the vent boosted the plume height and umbrella growth rate. Using the one-dimensional (1-D) steady plume model Plumeria, we find that a plume fed by ~90% water vapor at a temperature of 100 °C (referred to here as steam) could have exceeded 50 km height while keeping the injection rate of solids low enough to be consistent with Hunga’s modest tephra-fall deposit volume. Steam is envisaged to rise from intense phreatomagmatic jets or pyroclastic density currents entering the ocean. Overall, the height and expansion rate of Hunga’s giant plume is consistent with the total mass of fall deposits plus underwater density current deposits, even though most of the erupted mass decoupled from the high plume. This example represents a class of high (> 10 km), ash-poor, steam-driven plumes, that also includes Kīlauea (2020) and Fukutoku-oka-no-ba (2021).

Mingling occurs most commonly when hot primitive magma is introduced into cooler magma. Here, we investigate a scenario whereby cool, partially degassed lava is drained back into a conduit, where it mingles with hotter, less degassed magma. The 1959 eruption of Kīlauea Iki, Hawaiʻi involved 16 high fountaining episodes. During each episode, fountains fed a lava lake in a pit crater, which then partially drained back into the conduit during and after each episode. We infer highly crystalline tachylite inclusions and streaks in the erupted crystal-poor scoria to be the result of the recycling of this drain-back lava. The crystal phases present are dendrites of plagioclase, augite and magnetite/ilmenite, at sizes of up to 10 µm. Host sideromelane glass contains 7–8 wt% MgO and the tachylite glass (up to 0.5% by area) contains 2.5–6 wt% MgO. The vesicle population in the tachylite is depleted in the smallest size classes (< 0.5 mm) and has overall lower vesicle number densities and a higher degree of vesicle coalescence than the sideromelane component. The tachylite exhibits increasingly complex ‘stretching and folding’ mingling textures through the episodes, with discrete blocky tachylite inclusions in episodes 1 and 3 giving way to complex, folded, thin filaments of tachylite in pyroclasts erupted in episodes 15 and 16. We calculate that a lava lake crust 8–35 cm thick may have formed in the repose times between episodes, and then foundered and been entrained into the conduit during drain-back. The recycled fragments of crust would have been reheated in the conduit, inducing glass devitrification and crystallisation of pyroxene, magnetite and plagioclase dendrites and eventually undergoing ductile flow as the temperature of the fragments approached the host magma temperature. We use simple models of magma mingling to establish that stretching and folding of recycled, ductile lava could involve thinning of the clasts by up to a factor of 10 during the timescale of the eruption, consistent with observations of streaks and filaments of tachylite erupted during episodes 15 and 16, which may have undergone multiple cycles of eruption, drain-back and reheating.</p>","PeriodicalId":55297,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Volcanology","volume":"125 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141172907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The lightning annulus and umbrella front grew synchronously to a radius of ~ 150 km before the umbrella cloud growth rate decreased whilst the annulus itself contracted to a smaller radius of about 50 km again.

Textural observations highlight differences in crystal maturation timescales between centres in inferred compression, transpression, and extension, yet source melting dynamics remain constant. Only samples from the stratovolcanic edifice (in regional compression) preserve extensive zonation in olivine macrocrysts; these textures are generally absent from proximal small eruptive centres in transtension or extension. The zonation in olivines from stratovolcanic lavas yields timescales on the order of a few days to a few weeks, suggesting that even in environments which inhibit ascent, timescales between unrest and eruption of mafic magmas may be short.

Early work relied on analytical solutions for stress in a two-dimensional elastic medium with a pressurized circular magma chamber and biaxial far-field stress. The principal stress trajectories in this classical model depend on the ratio of deviatoric stress magnitude to chamber pressure. Assuming dikes follow principal stress trajectories and bounding plausible magma chamber excess pressures lead to estimates of deviatoric stress magnitudes from the map pattern of dikes. Mériaux and Lister (2002) pointed out that this approach ignored stresses due to the magma-filled dikes themselves, which significantly alter predicted dike trajectories. They estimated deviatoric stresses 2 to 5 times previous estimates. However, Mériaux and Lister (2002) assumed the pressure distribution within the dike rather than computing it from viscous magma flow. We revisit this simplification using a 2D model which fully couples a linear elastic host rock with a pressurized chamber and a fluid-filled dike, assuming the lubrication approximation for viscous flow. This model is solved using the finite element method (FEM). Ensuring that dike propagation is stable limits the dike-tip cavity pressure for realistic fracture toughness. We find that computed trajectories fall between the classical principal stress and Mériaux and Lister (2002) trajectories for given regional stress and chamber pressure conditions. This leads to deviatoric stress magnitude estimates that are 1 to 2 times the classical estimates, and 1/2 to 1/3 the Mériaux and Lister (2002) estimates. We also explore the consequences of chamber depressurization due to magma outflow during dike propagation. For a given melt compressibility, the resulting trajectories align more closely with those obtained from the classical model, compared to those obtained assuming a constant chamber pressure. At higher ratios of tectonic stress to chamber pressure, the trajectories are nearly identical. In both the constant pressure and depressurizing chamber cases, our results suggest that realistic magma pressure profiles within a dike lead to smaller estimated ratios of deviatoric stress to chamber pressure than found by Mériaux and Lister (2002).
