Direct numerical simulation of a compressible multiphase flow through the eulerian approach

This work is part of a long-term project concerning modeling, simulation and analysis of particle-laden turbulent plumes, motivated by the study of the injection of ash plumes in the atmosphere during explosive volcanic eruptions. Ash plumes represent indeed one of the major volcanic hazards, since they can produce widespread pyroclastic fallout in the surrounding inhabited regions, endanger aviation and convect fine particles in the stratosphere, potentially affecting climate.
