Author Correction: Understanding the plume dynamics of explosive super-eruptions

Area of Science:

• Fluid dynamics
• Chemical engineering
• Thermodynamics

Background:

• Accurate simulation of mass flow rate (MFR) is crucial in engineering.
• Previous simulations of MFR relied on an incorrect exit gas fraction.
• Understanding the relationship between column height and MFR requires precise data.

Purpose of the Study:

• To correct an error in the simulation data presented in Fig. 3.
• To ensure the accuracy of the relationship between column height and MFR for MFR > 10^10 kg/s.
• To rectify the exit gas fraction used in simulations.

Main Methods:

• Re-simulation of fluid dynamics using a corrected exit gas fraction (0.33 instead of 0.76).
• Updating the data presented in Fig. 3.
• Verification of corrected plots against the original discussion.

Main Results:

• The relationship between column height and MFR for MFR > 10^10 kg/s has been accurately represented.
• Corrected data reflects simulations with an exit gas fraction of 0.33.
• The corrected Fig. 3 is now available in both PDF and HTML versions.

Conclusions:

• The correction of the exit gas fraction does not impact the study's original discussion or conclusions.
• The revised data ensures the integrity of the findings related to MFR.
• Authors apologize for any confusion caused by the data error.
