Reproducibility of debris-flow fan physical modeling experiments
Debris-flow fans are common in steep mountainous terrain. The complexity of these environments makes it difficult to be onsite at the time of the debris flow, which has led many researchers to turn to physical models. While ... -
Influence of momentum correction factor and friction factor on flow models of debris-flow related to flow surface deformation
Intermittent debris-flow surges may be considered as roll wave phenomenon of shallow water flow that naturally develop in the mountain basins. The shape of the water surface with discontinuous depth change is one manifestation ... -
Constraining parameter uncertainty in modeling debris-flow initiation during the September 2013 Colorado Front Range storm
The occurrence of debris flows during the September 2013 northern Colorado floods took the emergency management community by surprise. The September 2013 debris flows in the Colorado Front Range initiated from shallow ... -
Evaluation of debris-flow runout model accuracy and complexity in Montecito, California, An : towards a framework for regional inundation-hazard forecasting
Numerous debris-flow inundation models have been applied retroactively to noteworthy events around the world. While such studies can be useful in identifying controlling factors, calibrating model parameters, and assessing ... -
Discrete-element investigation of granular debris-flow runup against slit structures
Runup of granular debris flows against slit dams on slopes is a complex process that involves deceleration, deposition and discharge. It is imperative to understand the runup mechanism and to predict the maximum runup ...
