Avulsions and the spatio-temporal evolution of debris-flow fans

T De Haas, AL Densmore, M Stoffel, H Suwa… - Earth-Science …, 2018 - Elsevier
Debris flows are water-laden masses of sediment that move rapidly through channel
networks and over alluvial fans, where they can devastate people and property. Episodic …

A multi‐phase mass flow model

SP Pudasaini, M Mergili - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Geomorphic mass flows are often complex in terms of material composition and its evolution
in space and time. The simulation of those hazardous phenomena would strongly benefit …

Bed scour by debris flows: Experimental investigation of effects of debris‐flow composition

T Haas, T Woerkom - Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Debris flows can grow greatly in size by entrainment of bed material, enhancing their runout
and hazardous impact. Here, we experimentally investigate the effects of debris‐flow …

Autogenic avulsion, channelization and backfilling dynamics of debris‐flow fans

T de Haas, W van den Berg, L Braat… - …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Alluvial fans develop their semi‐conical shape by quasi‐cyclic avulsions of their
geomorphologically active sector from a fixed fan apex. On debris‐flow fans, these quasi …

Effects of debris‐flow magnitude–frequency distribution on avulsions and fan development

T De Haas, A Kruijt… - Earth Surface Processes …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Shifts in the active channel on a debris‐flow fan, termed avulsions, pose a large threat
because new channels can bypass mitigation measures and cause damage to settlements …

An integrated method for rapid estimation of the valley incision by debris flows

Z Han, W Wang, Y Li, J Huang, B Su, C Tang… - Engineering …, 2018 - Elsevier
Valley incision by debris flow is an important process in creating and maintaining the
topography of a valley, in addition to explaining the significant growth of the magnitudes of …
