Scientific paper

The erosional furrows formed during the lateral blast at Mount St. Helens are addressed here as an example of enhanced erosion by large-scale vortices in a volcanic setting. These erosional features are attributed to scouring by longitudinal vortices resulting from flow instabilities induced by complex topography. The Reynolds number, Mach number, Goertler number, and erosional efficiency of the blast are estimated.
