Fall 3D is a serial/parallel (MPI) Eulerian model for the transport and deposition of volcanic tephra developed and maintained at CASE Department of the BSC-CNS. The model solves the advection-diffusion-sedimentation equation using a Finite Differences (FD) explicit scheme and can be used both to reproduce past events and to forecast on-going events (operational mode). The model has a wide community of users worldwide, including academia, research and operational institutions (e.g. the Buenos Aires Volcanic Ash Advisory Center in Argentina).
Volcanic ash dispersal modelling. The model was originally developed for inert volcanic particles (tephra) and has a track record of 50+ publications on different model applications and code validation, as well as an ever-growing community of users worldwide, including academia, private, research, and several institutions tasked with operational forecast of volcanic ash clouds.
