Abstract

In this paper, a modified particle system is proposed for volcanic eruption with lava, ashes and smoke. In the proposed method each eruptive material consists of particles. The movement of particles is determined by the external force and interaction (attraction: repulsion and viscosity) only in neighbor region. Since the method can be executed in combination with the geographic information, the proposed method may also be useful for disaster prevention.
