We provide two datasets for tracking the debris flow induced by the 2008 Wenchuan Mw 7.9
earthquake on a section of the Longmen mountains on the eastern side of the Tibetan …

The centrifuge modeling of the impact dynamics of high-speed granular flows is important for
understanding debris–barrier interactions. However, it remains challenging owing to the …

Debris flow caused high number of deaths among many of geohazard events in Malaysia
due to the characteristics of sudden outburst and high energy density. This paper reviewed …

Baffle structure, a promising countermeasure in reducing the destruction power of rapid
granular flows, needs more investigation especially with focus on the physically based …

Debris-flow impact load is one of the key parameters for design of engineering
countermeasures. The multiple-surge load model is a remarkable progress in estimating the …

Baffle system is a promising disaster mitigation measure, while the mechanism of debris-
baffle interaction at grain scale has not been fully understood, and especially the effect of the …

Inspired by the geomorphologic phenomenon of step-pool bed configuration, analogous
dissipation structures are set in drainage channels to mitigate granular flow hazards. The …

Abstract In the Yarlung Zangbo River valley in north Himalaya, many high-frequency debris
flows develop, with large amounts of run-out debris materials. To reduce the hazard scale of …

Strong earthquakes can induce large amounts of loose solid materials, forming landslide
dams and blocking narrow flow channels. Under extreme rainfall conditions, instability can …

Check dams with bottom outlets are widely used in debris flow gullies to minimize the
damage caused by debris flows. However, the bottom size is often based on empirical …
