Particle shape plays a crucial role in determining the mobility and impact characteristics of
granular flows, yet analyses of the effects of particle shape are rare. In this study, three …

A detailed investigation on the influence of topography on the impact mechanism of dry
granular flow is still lacking. In this study, the effect of topography was examined …

Granular materials are often encountered in nature, but the effect of their morphological
properties is poorly understood when they are accompanied by fluid. This set of complexity …

The destructive granular flow hazards can be mitigated by intercepting the solid particles
using protective barrier in the flow paths. Changes in the performance of barrier are usually …

The impact and pileup mechanisms of unsteady granular flows impacting a rigid barrier are
governed by the Froude conditions (Fr). Velocity and depth vary along the length of the flow …

Baffles and check-dam systems are often used as granular flow (rock avalanches, debris
flows, etc.) control structures in regions prone to dangerous geological hazards leading to …

Retention behavior of a flexible barrier in mitigating a granular flow is still an open problem
not fully understood, especially due to the complexity of the granular material and the …

The impact angle is an important but understudied factor that exerts a significant control on
the propagation of granular flows. To investigate the influence of the impact angle on the …

Many field observations show that the shape characteristic of particles constituting natural or
industrial loose deposits is often size-correlated, that is, either more regular or irregular for …

Granular flows comprise a wide range of particle sizes. The particle size governs the degree
of grain contact and inertial stresses in the flow, thus influencing the mechanism of impact …
