Recent advances in theory and experimentation motivate a thorough reassessment of the
physics of debris flows. Analyses of flows of dry, granular solids and solid‐fluid mixtures …

Granular materials are ubiquitous in our daily lives. While they have been the subject of
intensive engineering research for centuries, in the last two decades granular matter has …

The assessment of the debris flow hazard potential has to rely on semi-quantitative methods.
Due to the complexity of the debris-flow process, numerical simulation models of debris …

Presenting current knowledge in the field of mudflows, this book includes both rheological
mudflow aspects, and information on mudflow characteristics in open channels. It includes …

Various types of flow or mass movement involving water and sediments occur on steep
slopes in mountainous areas. Among them, debris flows are peculiar events during which a …

Predicting debris flow runout is of major importance for hazard mitigation. Apart from
topography and volume, runout distance and area depends on debris flow composition and …

Runoff during intense rainstorms plays a major role in generating debris flows in many
alpine areas and burned steeplands. Yet compared to debris flow initiation from shallow …

This study examines the depositional process and characteristics of deposits of large-scale
experimental debris flows (to 15 m3) composed of mixtures of gravel (to 32 mm), sand, and …

The alluvial-fan deposits in the Cretaceous Yongdong Basin, Korea, consist of
conglomerates with a muddy or sandy matrix and sandstones with thick or thin laminations …

In this paper we present an experimental study of the long-surface-wave instability that can
develop when a granular material flows down a rough inclined plane. The threshold and the …
