This study describes an investigation of channel-bed entrainment of sediment by debris flows. An entrainment model, developed using field data from debris flows at the Illgraben …
This paper presents a parallel computing Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) framework for geophysical granular flows scalable on large CPU clusters. The framework is …
Light-weight flexible steel net barriers catch coarse debris, but let some of the fine material and water pass through the net. They are difficult to design so that they can withstand the …
In this research, we present a new approach to define the distribution of block volumes during rockfall simulations. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are utilized to generate high …

Debris-flow volumes can increase due to the incorporation of sediment into the flow as a consequence of channel-bed erosion along the flow path. This study describes a sensitivity …
Frequent ice avalanche events are being reported across the globe in recent years. On the 7 February 2021, a flash flood triggered by a rock-ice avalanche with an unusually long runout …
