Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Volcano
  • Mechanics
  • Fluid dynamics

His main research concerns Pyroclastic rock, Mineralogy, Explosive eruption, Volcano and Geochemistry. He is interested in Phreatomagmatic eruption, which is a branch of Pyroclastic rock. His Mineralogy research includes themes of Pumice and Volcanic ash.

His Explosive eruption research focuses on Petrology and how it connects with Multiphase flow and Terminal velocity. Pierfrancesco Dellino interconnects Surface area and Traction in the investigation of issues within Volcano. His work on Volcanic rock and Tephra as part of general Geochemistry study is frequently connected to Fragmentation, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

His most cited work include:

  • Identifying magma–water interaction from the surface features of ash particles (177 citations)
  • Thermohydraulic explosions in phreatomagmatic eruptions as evidenced by the comparison between pyroclasts and products from Molten Fuel Coolant Interaction experiments (151 citations)
  • The analysis of the influence of pumice shape on its terminal velocity (121 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Pierfrancesco Dellino mostly deals with Pyroclastic rock, Volcano, Mineralogy, Petrology and Explosive eruption. He mostly deals with Phreatomagmatic eruption in his studies of Pyroclastic rock. His Volcano study introduces a deeper knowledge of Seismology.

The various areas that Pierfrancesco Dellino examines in his Mineralogy study include Grain size and Terminal velocity. His work on Mafic as part of general Petrology study is frequently linked to Coolant, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Explosive eruption research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Effusive eruption, Geophysics and Kinetic energy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Pyroclastic rock (51.96%)
  • Volcano (40.20%)
  • Mineralogy (26.47%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Pyroclastic rock (51.96%)
  • Volcano (40.20%)
  • Petrology (22.55%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Pierfrancesco Dellino mainly focuses on Pyroclastic rock, Volcano, Petrology, Explosive eruption and Mineralogy. His Pyroclastic rock research incorporates elements of Sedimentation and Flow, Entrainment. His work in Tephra, Caldera and Phreatomagmatic eruption is related to Volcano.

As a part of the same scientific family, Pierfrancesco Dellino mostly works in the field of Petrology, focusing on Magma and, on occasion, Explosive material and Subaerial. Pierfrancesco Dellino combines subjects such as Submarine and Volcanology with his study of Explosive eruption. The Mineralogy study combines topics in areas such as Drag and Terminal velocity.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A New One-Equation Model of Fluid Drag for Irregularly Shaped Particles Valid Over a Wide Range of Reynolds Number (24 citations)
  • Dust storms, volcanic ash hurricanes, and turbidity currents: physical similarities and differences with emphasis on flow temperature (15 citations)
  • The terminal velocity of volcanic particles with shape obtained from 3D X-ray microtomography (13 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Mechanics
  • Volcano
  • Fluid dynamics

His primary scientific interests are in Mechanics, Volcano, Sedimentation, Pyroclastic rock and Multiphase flow. His biological study focuses on Phreatomagmatic eruption. In his study, Mineralogy is strongly linked to Phreatic eruption, which falls under the umbrella field of Phreatomagmatic eruption.

His Mineralogy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Geochemistry and Explosive eruption. His study ties his expertise on Geomorphology together with the subject of Pyroclastic rock. His Multiphase flow study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Storm, Drag coefficient, Volcanic ash, Earth science and Shape factor.
