Debris flows are among the most catastrophic natural phenomena, attracting the interest of
researchers, engineers and government agencies. The complexity of the physical process …

Coupled fluid–solid phase continuum problems associated with large deformation as
geotechnics experts encounter in slope stability problems have been extensively reviewed …

On 13 August 2010, significant debris flows were triggered by intense rainfall events in
Wenchuan earthquake-affected areas, destroying numerous houses, bridges, and traffic …

This paper presents a unified modeling framework to investigate the impacts of debris flow
on flexible barriers, based on coupled computational fluid dynamics and discrete element …

Lagrangian particle-based smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) is increasingly widely
used in landslide modelling. This paper investigates four important issues not addressed by …

In this study, based on the frictional velocity-weakening law used in continuum modeling, an
adapted Hertz-Mindlin contact model between particles and the ground surface is …

Debris flows are rapid gravity-driven unsteady flows of highly concentrated mixtures of water
and solid particle material, destroying numerous mountain building structures and traffic …

In mountainous terrain, landslide debris is a common occurrence around the world that can
potentially result in catastrophic consequences to downstream residents and facilities …

Flexible barriers may be installed upstream in debris flow channels to reduce entrainment of
bed material. Simulating both the entrainment and the impact on a barrier by the same …

Flexible, slit, and rigid barriers are common countermeasures to mitigate natural
geophysical mass flows, but presently, quantitative comparisons of their performance are …
