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 …

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 …

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 …

Under the prevailing turbidite paradigm, the term turbidite (ie, deposits of turbidity currents
with Newtonian rheology and turbulent state) is used very loosely and is commonly applied …

We report laboratory experiments that demonstrate that the fronts of subaqueous debris
flows can hydroplane on thin layers of water. The hydroplaning dramatically reduces the bed …

The objective of this review is to examine how the concept of plasticity is used in
geophysical fluid dynamics. Rapid mass movements such as snow avalanches or debris …

Debris flows are dense and fast-moving complex suspensions of soil and water that threaten
lives and infrastructure. Assessing the hazard potential of debris flows requires predicting …

The rheology of slurries consisting of≤ 2‐mm sediment from a natural debris flow deposit
was measured using a wide‐gap concentric‐cylinder viscometer. The influence of sediment …

Naturally occurring high-discharge flows of water and sediment in open channels
(ie,``floods''), vary over a wide and continuous spectrum of sediment concentration and …
