Test Simulation
Volcanic ash: baked tapioca flour mixed with sand in a 90-10 ratio. Tapioca flour is baked to remove moisture so that flour do not stick together. Sand is mixed in to simulate heterogeneous particle size and texture of ash.
Environment: Unfortunately, no way to simulate the high temperatures on the surface level
