چکیده

We present a framework for modeling a dry geophysical mass of granular material – a debris or volcanic avalanche or landslide – flowing over an erodible surface. We also describe a computing environment that incorporates topographical data into a parallel, adaptive mesh computational algorithm that solves the model equations.

A Model of Granular Flows over an Erodible Surface

We present a framework for modeling a dry geophysical mass of granular material – a debris or volcanic avalanche or landslide – flowing over an erodible surface. We also describe a computing environment that incorporates topographical data into a parallel, adaptive mesh computational algorithm that solves the model equations.

Erosion and mobility in granular collapse over sloping beds

[1] We describe laboratory experiments of granular material flowing over an inclined plane covered by an erodible bed, designed to mimic erosion processes of natural flows travelling over deposits built up by earlier events. Two controlling parameters are the inclination of the plane and the thickness of the erodible layer. We show that erosion processes can increase the flowmobility (i.e., run...

Exact solution for granular flows

In this paper, we present the exact solution of the Riemann problem for the nonlinear one-dimensional so-called shallow-water or Saint-Venant equations with friction proposed by SAVAGE and HUTTER to describe debris avalanches. This model is based on the depth-averaged thin layer approximation of granular flows over sloping beds and takes into account a Coulomb type friction law with a constant ...

Diphasic non - local model for granular surface flows

– Considering recent results revealing the existence of multi-scale rigid clusters of grains embedded in granular surface flows, i.e. flows down an erodible bed, we describe here the surface flows rheology through a non-local constitutive law. The predictions of the resulting model are compared quantitatively to experimental results: The model succeeds to account for the counter-intuitive shape...

Two-dimensional simulation by regularization of free surface viscoplastic flows with Drucker-Prager yield stress and application to granular collapse

This work is devoted to numerical modeling and simulation of flows of granular materials, with application to geophysical flows such as avalanches and debris flows. We consider an incompressible viscoplastic fluid, described by a rheology with pressure dependent yield stress, in a two-dimensional setting with a free surface. The regularization method is used to deal with the singularity of the ...
