Understanding the interaction between complex geophysical flows and barriers remains a
critical challenge for protecting infrastructure in mountainous regions. The scientific …

Debris flows surge downslope carrying destructive energy and can result in long runout
distances. Structural mitigation is commonly installed along the flow path to impede debris …

Debris flows travel downslope at high speed and often cause damage to the infrastructure of
societies around the world. With increasing extreme rainfall events and urbanization in …

This paper presents a computational scheme for simulating debris-flow impact pressures on
buildings in urban areas. The debris flow mobility is described using depth-averaged mass …

This paper discussed the changes in the movement trajectories and deposition patterns of
the rock avalanches in the baffle-net structure under different cases, and obtained the …

The application of seawall deflectors for reflecting inviscid waves into the sea have been
well established. Recently, rigid barrier deflectors have been proposed prescriptively for …

The gravitational debris flow, such as the agent forming alluvial cones in the mouths of
mountain canyons, could bring about devastating disaster to downstream structures in …

Arrays of baffles are widely used to prevent and mitigate granular flows (eg, debris flows and
landslides) in mountainous areas. A thorough understanding of the decelerating effect and …

Failure of in-pit overburden dumps in open-pit coal mines causes debris to flow toward the
active working face, threatening the safety of people and equipment. The evaluation of the …

Steep-creek hazards are a hazardous phenomenon that afflict mountainous areas across
the globe. To prevent such flows from claiming lives and destroying infrastructure, active …
