ABSTRACT

The dusty gases have been studied since 1970s. The numerical results obtained showed many physical properties of dusty gas using continuum models. However, the merging of dust, which is mathematically represented by delta function, cannot be captured by such models. Our project is to develop a hybrid scheme combining the gas computed by finite volume methods and dust by particle methods. The further applications include the comparison of sound speed with pure gas, delta-shock formation and the simulation of volcanic eruptions and volcanic ash.
