Assessment of motion-induced fluidization of dense pyroclastic gravity currents

The paper addresses some fundamental aspects of the dynamics of dense granular flows down inclines relevant
 to pyroclastic density currents. A simple mechanistic framework is presented to analyze the dynamics of the
 frontal zone, with a focus on the establishment of conditions that...
