Parameters in modeling explosive volcanic eruptions
![Page 2: Parameters in modeling explosive volcanic eruptions.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d425503460f94a1daf6/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Primary parameters: must be determined before each eruption • Melt composition, esp. initial H2O content• Initial temperature• Initial pressure (degree of saturation) and
exsolved gas content • Conduit geometry and wall rock property
All other parameters should in principle be calculatable
![Page 3: Parameters in modeling explosive volcanic eruptions.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d425503460f94a1daf6/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Magma properties and theories needed
• Viscosity of magma A function of T, composition (esp. H2O)
• Solubility of H2O (and other gases) in magma
• Diffusivity of H2O (and other gases) in magma
• Fragmentation criterion• Bubble growth experiments
• Enthalpy of H2O exsolution from magma
• Tensile strength, surface tension, heat capacity, density

Viscosity of magma
• Viscosity decreases with increasing temperature, non-Arrhenian:
ln = A+B/(T-C) where C ranges from 0 to 700 K or ln = A+(B/T)n where n ranges from 1 to 3
• Viscosity increases with the concentration of SiO2 and other network formersincreases from basaltic to rhyolitic melt
• Viscosity decreases with the concentration of network modifiers, esp. H2O
• Viscosity is also affected by the presence of crystals and bubbles

Viscosity of magma
• Models for hydrous rhyolitic melts: Shaw (1972)Much improved by Hess and Dingwell (1996)
• The 2 uncertainty in viscosity of the Hess and Dingwell model is a factor of 8. The model cannot be extrapolated to dry melt.
• Zhang et al. (submitted) propose a new empirical relation on how depends on H2O:
1/ = 1/dry + bXn , where X is mole frac of H2OUsing this formulation, Zhang et al. develop a new model.

where T is in K and X is the mole fraction of total H2O on a single oxygen basis.
The viscosity of hydrous high-SiO2 rhyolitic melt can be calculated within a factor of 2.4.

Solubility of H2O in magma
• Pressure: Solubility of H2O increases with pressure but not simply proportional to pressure. This complexity is due to the presence of at least two hydrous species in melt.
• Temperature: At the same pressure, solubility of H2O decreases slightly with increasing temperature, at least when the pressure is below 2 kb.
• Composition: The dry melt composition has a small effect.
• For volcanic eruption models, accurate H2O solubility at low pressure is critical since most expansion occurs in this stage (Blower et al., 2001)

Solubility models
• Most solubility models predict H2O solubility at intermediate pressures (a few hundred to a few thousand bars) well.
• Many models fail at high pressures (e.g., 5 kb). Most models fail under low pressures (e.g., 1 bar).
![Page 16: Parameters in modeling explosive volcanic eruptions.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d425503460f94a1daf6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Diffusion of H2O in magma• Numerous studies, starting from Shaw (1973)• Because of two hydrous species, the diffusion of H2O
in magma differs from that of other components. The diffusivity of the H2O component depends strongly on H2O content. This is a practically important and yet theoretically interesting problem.
• Diffusion of H2O in silicate melt can be modeled as follows: Molecular H2O is the diffusion species, and the diffusivity of molecular H2O increases exponentially with total H2O content. OH species is basically immobile.
![Page 20: Parameters in modeling explosive volcanic eruptions.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d425503460f94a1daf6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Diffusion of H2O in magma (Zhang and Behrens, 2000)
DH2Om = exp[(14.08-13128/T-2.796P/T) + (-27.21+36892/T+57.23P/T)X],
DH2Ot = DH2OmdXm/X, where T is in K, P is in MPa (not mPa), and X and Xm are the mole fractions of total and molecular H2O on a single oxygen basis

Magma fragmentation
Two recent models: Papale (1999): Strain-rate based Zhang (1999): If tensile stress at bubble walls exceed the the tensile strength of the magma, there would be fragmentation
![Page 23: Parameters in modeling explosive volcanic eruptions.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d425503460f94a1daf6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Differences between Papale (1999) and Zhang (1999)
1. Papale (1999): strain-rate based Zhang (1999): stress basedFor Newtonian melt, stress and strain rate are proportional (equivalent). For more complicated melt, they are not. After years of debate, the engineering literature concluded that stress-based model is applicable
2. Papale (1999): liquid with or without bubbles would fragment in the same wayZhang (1999): bubbles play a critical role because tensile stress on bubble wall causes bubble explosion
![Page 24: Parameters in modeling explosive volcanic eruptions.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d425503460f94a1daf6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Bubble growth experiments
Experiments by Liu and Zhang (2000) show that bubble growth can be modeled well with the model of Proussevitch and Sahagian (1998) as long as viscosity, diffusivity and solubility are known.
![Page 25: Parameters in modeling explosive volcanic eruptions.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d425503460f94a1daf6/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
My biased recommendationsFor H2O diffusivity in rhyolitic melt, use the model of
Zhang and Behrens (2000)
For H2O solubility in rhyolitic melt, use the model of Zhang (1999) (we will have an updated model soon)For basaltic melts: Dixon et al. (1995), For other (general) melts: Moore et al. (1998)
For viscosity of crystal- and bubble-free hydrous rhyolitic melt, use the model of Zhang et al. (submitted)
For magma fragmentation criterion, use the model of Zhang (1999)

Magma fragmentation
1. Magma fragmentation defines explosive eruption
2. Before 1997, it is thought that fragmentation occurs at 74% vesicularity. Recent experimental and field studies show that vesicularity at fragmentation can range from 50% to 97%.
3. Slowly growing lava dome or slowly advancing lava flows can suddenly fragment into pyroclastic flow.

Hydrous species geospeedometer
• Measure the IR band intensities of different dissolved H2O species in rhyolitic glass
• From the band intensities, cooling rate can be inferred.
• The principle of the geospeedometer: reaction rate increases with temperature. If cooling rate is high, then there is a shorter time at each temperature, the species equilibrium would reflect that at high temperature. And vice versa.

Why did pyroclasts cool slower than in air?
• Cooling rate depends on ambient temperature in the erupting column. Hence we can turn the geospeedometer to a thermometer.
• For cooling rate to be 1/2 of that in air, the ambient temperature (i.e., average temperature in the erupting column) can be estimated to be about 300 °C.
• Systematic investigation of different pyroclastic beds• Inference of erupting column dynamics

Phase diagram of H2O
According to the phase diagram, the pressure on the water pipe is P≈-94T where T is in °C and P is in bar. For example, at -15°C, P is 1400 bar, or 1.4 ton/cm2. Usually a water pipe would fracture at several hundred bars.

OverviewMechanism of gas-driven eruptions
• When dissolved gas in a liquid reaches oversaturation, bubbles nucleate and grow (that is, the gas exsolves), leading to volume expansion, and ascent
• Liquid can be either magma, water, or other liquid
• Gas can be either steam, CO2, CH4 or other gas
• Types of gas-driven eruptions: 1. Explosive volcanic eruptions2. Lake eruptions

Dynamics of Lake eruptionsCO2 from magma at depth percolates throught the rocks and into lake bottom. Dissolution of CO2 increases the density of water. Hence CO2 concentrates in lake bottom. When saturation is reached (or if unsaturated but disturbed), the sudden exsolution of CO2 can lead to lake eruption. The eruption dynamics can be modeled semi-quantitatively using the Bernoulli equation. The erupted CO2 gas with water droplets is denser than air, and hence would eventually collapse down to form a density flow along valleys, coined as “ambioructic” flow by Zhang (1996), which is similar to a pyroclastic flow. The flow would choke people and animal along its way.
