Discrete-element investigation of influence of granular debris flow baffles on rigid barrier impact

RPH Law, CE Choi, CWW Ng - Canadian Geotechnical Journal, 2015 - cdnsciencepub.com
Granular debris flow baffles are commonly installed in front of rigid barriers to dissipate flow
energy and reduce the required barrier impact capacity. Despite the engineering value of …

Froude characteristics of both dense granular and water flows in flume modelling

CE Choi, CWW Ng, SCH Au-Yeung, GR Goodwin - Landslides, 2015 - Springer
One of the challenges associated with small-scale flume modelling is achieving dynamic
similarity. Froude (Fr) scaling is commonly adopted to capture the bulk characteristics of a …

Performance of landslide debris-resisting baffles

CE Choi, RPH Law - HKIE Transactions, 2015 - Taylor & Francis
Arrays of landslide debris baffles are commonly installed upstream of rigid barriers in Hong
Kong to dissipate flow energy impacting a rigid barrier. Currently, baffles are installed using …
