From: Probabilistic approach to modeling lava flow inundation: a lava flow hazard assessment for a nuclear facility in Armenia

Parameter = Value Explanation
Inputs  
DEM_SOUTH = 4440 N, S, E, W
DEM_NORTH = 4470 boundaries
DEM_EAST = 440 of the DEM
DEM_WEST = 410  
DEM_SPACING = 0.1 DEM grid spacing (km)
DEM_FILE = file (ASCII format) rows of elevation values (masl)
RESIDUAL_AV = 8.0 Lava thickness (m): Average
RESIDUAL_SD2 = 1.0 Standard Deviation
  (higher value=higher lava viscosity)
ERUPTED_LAVA = 1e5 Volume of lava distributed
  per iteration or pulse (m3)
TOTAL_LAVA_AV = 1e7 Lava volume (m3): Average
TOTAL_LAVA_SD2 = 0.5 Standard Deviation
FLOWS = 1 Number of lava flows to simulate per run
RUNS = 10 000 Number of lava flow runs (for statistical analysis)
AOI_WEST = 426.0 Area of interest
AOI_EAST = 428.2  
AOI_SOUTH = 4447.8  
AOI_NORTH = 4449.0  
SPATIAL_DENSITY_FILE = file X Y Z format, grid of spatial density
  values for the potential of volcanism
SPATIAL_DENSITY_SPACING=.1 spacing of spatial density grid (km)
  1. Configuration file for simulated lava flows. The format of this ASCII file is parameter = value. The shown values reflect the range of values used for the lava flow hazard assessment on the Shamiram Plateau.
