A depth-averaged SPH study on spreading mechanisms of geophysical flows in debris basins: Implications for terminal barrier design requirements

SR Goodwin, CE Choi - Computers and Geotechnics, 2022 - Elsevier
Conservative estimates of forces from debris flows on barriers are computable using the 'free
field approach', assuming that flows are channelised until impact. However, this approach …

Towards depth-averaged modelling of the decay of granular flows by deposition

M Nikooei, CE Choi - Computers and Geotechnics, 2022 - Elsevier
Depth-averaged (DA) numerical models are often used to simulate the runout of flow-type
landslides because of their practicality and computational efficiency. However, existing DA …

Revealing the physics of sediment ploughing by geophysical mass flows: Depth-averaged approach

CE Choi, M Nikooei - Computers and Geotechnics, 2023 - Elsevier
Ploughing is an erosion mechanism where the dam-like front of a geophysical flow shovels
sediments along its path to increase its runout. Ploughing is commonly reported in the field …

Effect of unsteady flow dynamics on the impact of monodisperse and bidisperse granular flow

B Zhang, Y Huang - Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment, 2022 - Springer
Protective barriers provide crucial resistance against the impact of granular flows. However,
the adoption of characterized flow depth and velocity values in impact force estimation …

[PDF][PDF] MPM Simulations of Debris Flow Entrainment, Modelling Boulders Explicitly

H Vicari, QA Tran, S Nordal, VKS Thakur - Geohazards, 2022 - researchgate.net
Debris flows typically grow in volume by entraining soil, fluid, and boulders along the flow
channel. During the flow, the entrainment of large boulders is significant but has remained …

Investigation of debris flow entrainment and mitigation using flexible barriers. Physical and numerical modelling

H Vicari - 2022 - ntnuopen.ntnu.no
Debris flows typically increase in scale by entraining soil, fluid, and boulders along the flow
channel. Entrainment is typically modelled according to semi-empirical formulations which …
