fountaining
Spurting like geysers
Fountaining describes liquid or other material surging upward like a fountain.
Lava fountains from volcanic vents; blood fountains from a severed artery; champagne fountains from an uncorked bottle.
The word captures the dramatic, vertical gushing of something under pressure: Oil was fountaining from the broken pipe.
