Streamlines of the time‐averaged vertical velocity for the large‐eddy simulation plume for the weak eruption with filled contours of fine (top) and coarse (bottom) ash fractions (relative to the mass fraction of tracer particles) superimposed. The white lines indicate contours of zero vertical velocity separating regions of positive…
