Rock-ice avalanches exhibit significant particle segregation driven by density and friction
differences between ice and rock. This study meticulously uncovers intricate segregation …

Erosion significantly affects the dynamics of gravity-driven mass flows. In snow avalanches,
the snow cover can be substantially eroded but only partially entrained, however, there are …

This paper explores the effects of slope angle, initial column aspect ratio, and interparticle
friction coefficient on the mobility and erodibility of granular columns collapsing on an …

As a consequence of their natural occurrence and the frequent formation of multiple surges
with high sediment loads, debris flows are considered one of the most hazardous gravity …

A blunt obstacle in the path of a rapid granular avalanche generates a bow shock (a jump in
the avalanche thickness and velocity), a region of static grains upstream of the obstacle, and …

The study of acoustic properties within particle systems is of great significance for inverting
system structures, designing soundproofing, or sound-guiding materials. To investigate the …

The occurrence of slope disasters mainly depends on the terrain slope, size and amount of
soil and rock particles, and the presence of heavy rain. If particles erode and entrain soil and …

Ploughing is an erosion mechanism where the dam-like front of a geophysical flow shovels
sediments along its path to increase its runout. Ploughing is commonly reported in the field …

Depth-averaged (DA) numerical models are often used to simulate the runout of flow-type
landslides because of their practicality and computational efficiency. However, existing DA …

This paper describes, from a theoretical point of view, the appearance and characteristics of
granular roll waves in chute flow, and the maximal size these waves can attain for a given …
