Dataset and Software: Heat Transfer in Pyroclastic Density Current - Ice Interactions: Ins

Experiment data and MATLAB codes from the research article 'Heat Transfer in Pyroclastic Density Current - Ice Interactions: Insights from Experimental and Numerical Simulations'. The repository contains temperature, melt, and steam data separated by particle type (Ballotini, Pumice, Ruapehu) and includes simulation data and processing codes. The data and software were produced by Amelia Vale at the University of Bristol.

Use Cases

• Model validation by comparing numerical simulation outputs to the provided experimental temperature, melt, and steam data.
• Analyzing heat transfer efficiency based on the particle-type-specific data (Ballotini, Pumice, Ruapehu).
• Reproducing figures and system behavior analyses using the provided MATLAB codes and data plots.
• Developing new numerical models for pyroclastic-ice interactions using the provided mathematical model implementation as a reference.

Strengths

• Includes both raw experimental data (temperature, melt, steam) and the executable MATLAB codes used for numerical simulation and plotting.
• Data is categorized by three distinct particle types (Ballotini, Pumice, Ruapehu), allowing for comparative analysis.
• Accompanies a specific, peer-reviewed research article, providing clear context and purpose for the data.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and overall dataset scale are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
