Study of the dynamics of water-enriched debris flow and its impact on slit-type barriers by a modified SPH–DEM coupling approach

H ** of granular flows
SR Goodwin, CE Choi - Computers and Geotechnics, 2020 - Elsevier
Slit-structures are rigid structures with one or more slits. To retard steep-creek hazards, slit-
structures are sometimes installed to reduce the peak discharge, as well as to mechanically …

3D numerical simulation of free-surface Bingham fluids interacting with structures using the PFEM

A Franci, X Zhang - Journal of Non-Newtonian Fluid Mechanics, 2018 - Elsevier
This paper presents a purely Lagrangian approach for the 3D simulation of Bingham free-
surface fluids and their interaction with deformable solid structures. In the proposed …

Analysis of the load exerted by debris flows on filter barriers: Comparison between numerical results and field measurements

A Leonardi, M Pirulli - Computers and Geotechnics, 2020 - Elsevier
The hazard posed by debris flows onto mountainous settlements often requires structural
countermeasures, such as barriers, to be installed. There is a worldwide trend in employing …

Lattice Boltzmann Method Pore-scale simulation of fluid flow and heat transfer in porous media: Effect of size and arrangement of obstacles into a channel

I Moradi, A D'Orazio - Engineering Analysis with Boundary Elements, 2023 - Elsevier
The flow characteristics at a pore-scale porous medium has a significant role to the
development of cooling modules. Despite this fact, still there is no adequate knowledge …

Towards rational use of baffle arrays on sloped and horizontal terrain for filtering boulders

SR Goodwin, CE Choi, CY Yune - Canadian Geotechnical …, 2021 - cdnsciencepub.com
Baffle arrays are used to filter boulders from granular flows, such that the impact load
exerted on barriers is reduced. However, current guidelines provide limited …

Time-resolved triggering and runout analysis of rainfall-induced shallow landslides

G La Porta, A Leonardi, M Pirulli, F Cafaro, F Castelli - Acta Geotechnica, 2024 - Springer
Rainfall-induced shallow landslides often turn into flows. These phenomena occur
worldwide and pose severe hazard to infrastructure and human lives on mountainous areas …
