A cellular model for secondary lahars and simulation of cases in the Vascn Valley, Ecuador
We present LLUNPIY, a Macroscopic Cellular Automata model, for secondary lahars. We applied the model to 2005 and 2008 lahars of Vascn Valley, Tungurahua Ecuador. Secondary lahars are modeled in three main phases: generation, flood and exhaustion. Simulations were satisfying in reproducing the events global dynamics.
