Debris flows represent one of the most dangerous types of mass movements, because of
their high velocities, large impact forces and long runout distances. This review describes …

Debris flows are typically a saturated mixture of poorly sorted particles and interstitial fluid,
whose density and flow properties depend strongly on the presence of suspended fine …

The internal deformation within debris flows holds essential information on dynamics and
flow resistance of such mass‐wasting processes. Systematic measurements of velocity …

The vortex equation is often used to estimate the front velocity of debris flows using the
lateral slope of the flow surface through a channel bend of a given radius. Here we report on …

The run out and destructive potential of gravitational multi-phase flows is largely determined
by the mixture composition, the material properties of the solid particles and the fluid. One …

Surging debris flows are among the most destructive natural hazards, and elucidating the
interaction between coarse‐grained fronts and the trailing liquefied slurry is key to …

Debris flows occur frequently and cause considerable damage in the Wenchuan Earthquake
area; however, there has been no systematic real-time monitoring of such events. This study …

Debris flows affect people and infrastructure around the world, and as a result, many
numerical models and modelling approaches have been developed to simulate their …

Data on the internal velocity distribution of flowing sediment–fluid mixtures such as debris
flows are rare, but necessary for model development and testing. A probe to measure the …

As a consequence of their natural occurrence and the frequent formation of multiple surges
with high sediment loads, debris flows are considered one of the most hazardous gravity …
