We review flows of dense cohesionless granular materials, with a special focus on the
question of constitutive equations. We first discuss the existence of a dense flow regime …

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 …

Sand, rice, sugar, snow, cement... Although ubiquitous in our daily lives, granular media still
challenge engineers and fascinate researchers. This book provides the state-of-the-art of the …

A new numerical model for the dynamic analysis of rapid flow slides, debris flows, and
avalanches has been developed. The model is an extension of an earlier algorithm and is …

The problem of the spreading of a granular mass released at the top of a rough inclined
plane was investigated. The evolution of the avalanche was measured experimentally from …

L'entraînement des matériaux dans le parcours des glissements rapides est une
caractéristique importante de ces phénomènes. Les accroissements de volume et les …

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

Numerical solutions of the equations describing flow of variably fluidized Coulomb mixtures
predict key features of dry granular avalanches and water‐saturated debris flows measured …

Shock waves, dead zones and particle-free regions form when a thin surface avalanche of
granular material flows around an obstacle or over a change in the bed topography …
