Yield stress fluids are encountered in a wide range of applications: toothpastes, cements,
mortars, foams, muds, mayonnaise, etc. The fundamental character of these fluids is that …

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 …

Landslide-generated waves (LGWs) are among natural hazards that have stimulated
attentions and concerns of engineers and researchers during the past decades. At the same …

This review article provides an overview of dry granular flows and particle fluid mixtures,
including experimental and numerical modeling at the laboratory scale, large scale …

We consider the rheological behaviour of felsic magma in the zone of partial melting and
during subsequent crystallization. We also introduce and combine concepts (mushy zone …

Runoff during intense rainstorms plays a major role in generating debris flows in many
alpine areas and burned steeplands. Yet compared to debris flow initiation from shallow …

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

Three two-dimensional (2D) debris-flow simulation models are applied to two large well-
documented debris-flow events which caused major deposition of solid material on the fan …
