Topography Curvature Effects in Thin‐Layer Models for Gravity‐Driven Flows Without Bed Erosion

چکیده
Depth-averaged thin-layer models are commonly used to model rapid gravity-driven flows such as debris or avalanches. However, the formal derivation of equations for general topographies is not straightforward. The curvature topography results in a force that maintains velocity tangent topography. Another term appears bottom friction with frictional rheologies. In this work, we present main lines mathematical these terms proportional square velocity. With SHALTOP numerical model, quantify their influence on flow dynamics and deposits over synthetic real topographies. This done by comparing simulations which exact, disregarded approximated. Coulomb rheology, slopes θ = 10 coefficients below μ tan (5°), neglecting increases simulated travel times up 10% 30%, respectively. When neglected, distance may be increased several hundred meters topographies, whatever coefficients. We observe similar effects channel slope 25° 15°, 50% increase kinetic energy. Finally, approximations can break noninvariance decelerate flow. Voellmy discrepancies less significant. Curvature thus have significant impact calibration overflows prediction, both being critical hazard assessment.

Isolating Curvature Effects in Computing Wall-Bounded Turbulent Flows
The ow over the zero-pressure-gradient So-Mellor convex curved wall is simulated using the NavierStokes equations. An inviscid e ective outer wall shape, undocumented in the experiment, is obtained by using an adjoint optimization method with the desired pressure distribution on the inner wall as the cost function. Using this wall shape with a NavierStokes method, the abilities of various turbu...
متن کاملNonlocal Curvature Flows
This paper aims at building a unified framework to deal with a wide class of local and nonlocal translation-invariant geometric flows. We introduce a class of nonlocal generalized mean curvatures and prove the existence and uniqueness for the level set formulation of the corresponding geometric flows. We then introduce a class of generalized perimeters, whose first variation is an admissible ge...
متن کاملStochastic Equation for the Erosion of Inclined Topography
We present a stochastic equation to model the erosion of topography with fixed inclination. The inclination causes the erosion to be anisotropic. A zero-order consequence of the anisotropy is the dependence of the prefactor of the surface height-height correlations on direction. The lowest higherorder contribution from the anisotropy is studied by applying the dynamic renormalization group. In ...

A non-hydrostatic code that numerically solves the unsteady, three-dimensional, primitive equations is used. Advanced models such as the dynamic mixed model and the dynamic eddy viscosity model are utilized to represent subgrid processes in the LES approach. A novel near-wall model has been developed so as to increase the Reynolds number of boundary flows to realistically large geophysical valu...
متن کاملAlgorithms for stochastic approximations of curvature flows
Curvature flows have been extensively considered from a deterministic point of view. They have been shown to be useful for a number of applications including crystal growth, flame propagation, and computer vision. In some previous work [1], we have described a random particle system, evolving on the discretized unit circle, whose profile converges toward the Gauss-Minkowsky transformation of so...
