Computationally Modelling a Volcano: Flow and Stability.

澳大利亚大陆很幸运，没有直接遭受活火山活动的影响。然而，这并不意味着火山不重要。古代火山喷发的产物可以定义一个国家的财富。但它们也具有极强的破坏性，目前有30座活火山能够引发海啸，可能会影响澳大利亚。使用计算模型了解物理过程对于拯救生命和帮助我们从他们的产品中受益至关重要。这是一个相对较新的研究领域，由于澳大利亚的资源，我们的研究团队有潜力走在前列。也有能力在昆士兰大学内部建立令人印象深刻的研究团队。

Mainland Australia is fortunate not to suffer directly from active volcanism. However, this does not mean volcanoes are of little importance. The products of ancient eruptions can define the wealth of a nation. But they are also highly destructive and there are currently 30 active volcanoes capable of generating a tsunami that could affect Australia. Understanding the physical processes using computational models is essential to save lives and help us benefit from their products. This is a relatively new research field and owing to the resources in Australia, our research team has the potential to be at the forefront. There is also the capability to build and impressive research team within the University of Queensland.
