چکیده

Over the night of 11–12th August 2020, unusually intense convective rainfall triggered several debris flows along Lomond Hills escarpment. Rainfall intensities locally exceeded an estimated 0.33% annual exceedance probability. Each flow had a different magnitude and physical character depending on availability water sediment effectiveness vegetation buffer, such that similar-looking micro-catchments responded in ways. The largest far others magnitude, extending over 1 km with descent 246 m volume c. 1500–3000 m3, causing damage to forestry road. Debris was entrained from gullied relict talus, including fallen trees incision Lateglacial glaciofluvial sand. Deposit sedimentology morphology demonstrate initial debris-flow surge probably happened early storm coinciding greatest runoff generation, followed by later fluvial reworking. This appears be event for more than 90 years may characteristic landscape response projected increases twenty-first century summers.

The Physics of Debris Flows

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 provide a foundation for a comprehensive debris flow theory, and experiments provide data that reveal the strengths and limitations of theoretical models. Both debris flow materials and dry granular materials can sustai...

Landslide and Debris Flow Characteristics during Extreme Rainfall in Taiwan

As the global climate changes, the threat from landslides and debris flows increases. Learning how a watershed initiates landslides under abnormal rainfall conditions and predicting landslide magnitude and frequency distribution is thus important. Landslides show a power-law distribution in the frequency-area distribution. The distribution curve shows an exponent gradient 1.0 in the Sandpile mo...
