🌋 Eruption Column Collapse Lab: Buoyant Plume vs Pyroclastic Flow

Side-by-side volcanic eruption columns with Blender-baked volumetric ash: see why one column lifts off as a buoyant plume and another collapses into pyroclastic density currents, with runout, ash fall and VEI.

⚙ Under the hood

Two explosive eruption columns side by side with Blender-baked volumetric ash: change vent radius, exit speed and gas content to see why one lifts off as a buoyant plume and the other collapses into pyroclastic density currents, with runout, ash fall, VEI and live numerical checks.
