The overflow behavior of polydisperse granular flows against closed type barrier is a crucial
yet poorly understood aspect of multiple-barrier design. We use a robust numerical model …

The interaction between granular flow and an array of obstacles is an important research
subject in geological disaster prevention. We used a numerical model for the depth …

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 …

Multiple barriers are commonly installed along predicted geophysical flow paths to intercept
large flow volumes. The main criterion for multiple-barrier design is volume retained. The …

Rigid barriers are prevalent structure countermeasures for mitigating granular flow hazards
in mountainous areas. To reduce maintenance for barriers, a basal clearance is commonly …

Steep creek hazards are characterised according to their solid fraction, ν s, which governs
the flow dynamics. To arrest these hazards, rigid multiple barriers are installed along a …

The interaction between fast shallow granular flow and obstacles on steep terrain is an
important aspect of granular mechanics and defending against geological hazards. In this …

Some types of barriers are designed with a clearance between the bottom of the barrier and
the channel bed. This feature allows small discharges to pass, thereby reducing the …

Curved seawalls remain one of the most widely adopted coastal-protection measure. A
curved face redirects flow momentum and prevents waves from overtopping. Likewise, the …

During long-term operation, the performance of obstacles would be changed due to the
material accumulating upslope the obstacle. However, the effects of retained material on …
