Coupling of full two-dimensional and depth-averaged models for granular flows

B Domnik, SP Pudasaini, R Katzenbach… - Journal of Non-Newtonian …, 2013 - Elsevier

Topographic curvature effects in applied avalanche modeling

JT Fischer, J Kowalski, SP Pudasaini - Cold Regions Science and …, 2012 - Elsevier
This paper describes the implementation of topographic curvature effects within the RApid
Mass MovementS (RAMMS) snow avalanche simulation toolbox. RAMMS is based on a …

Depth-averaged analytic solutions for free-surface granular flows impacting rigid walls down inclines

T Faug - Physical Review E, 2015 - APS
In the present paper, flows of granular materials impacting wall-like obstacles down inclines
are described by depth-averaged analytic solutions. Particular attention is paid to extending …

Erosion–deposition waves in shallow granular free-surface flows

AN Edwards, J Gray - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2015 - cambridge.org
Debris flows can spontaneously develop regular large-amplitude surge waves that are
interspersed by periods in which the channel fill is completely stationary. These are …

Gravity-driven granular free-surface flow around a circular cylinder

X Cui, J Gray - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2013 - cambridge.org
Snow avalanches and other hazardous geophysical granular flows, such as debris flows,
lahars and pyroclastic flows, often impact on obstacles as they flow down a slope …

The supercritical question for pyroclastic dune bedforms: An overview

GA Douillet - Sedimentology, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Sedimentary structures deposited from dilute pyroclastic currents are largely dominated by
the products of metre‐scale dune bedforms containing backset lamination. Since the first …

Standing jumps in shallow granular flows down smooth inclines

T Faug, P Childs, E Wyburn, I Einav - Physics of Fluids, 2015 - pubs.aip.org
The shapes of standing jumps formed in shallow granular flows down an inclined smooth-
based chute are analysed in detail, by varying both the slope and mass discharge …

Segregation-induced fingering instabilities in granular free-surface flows

MJ Woodhouse, AR Thornton, CG Johnson… - Journal of fluid …, 2012 - cambridge.org
