Wetting and spreading of molten volcanic ash in jet engines - Song W, Lavallee Y, Wadsworth FB, Hess KU, Dingwell D.

A major hazard to jet engines posed by volcanic ash is linked to the wetting and spreading of molten ash droplets on engine component surfaces. Here, using the sessile drop method, we study the evolution of the wettability and spreading of volcanic ash. We...
