Modeling of heterogeneous materials and media is a problem of fundamental importance to
a wide class of phenomena and systems, ranging from condensed matter physics, soft …

The particle finite element method (PFEM) is a powerful and robust numerical tool for the
simulation of multi-physics problems in evolving domains. The PFEM exploits the …

The particle finite element method (PFEM) is a robust approach for modelling large
deformation problems with free surface evolution. The classical PFEM, however, requires …

In this study, the impulse waves generated by highly mobile slides in large‐scale flume
experiments are reproduced numerically with the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM) …

Continuum-based numerical models are widely used to simulate debris flows due to their
reliability in predicting the movement path, depth and velocity, which are key parameters to …

Soil flow is involved in many earth surface processes such as debris flows and landslides. It
is a very challenging task to model this large deformational phenomenon because of the …

In this work, we implement the local μ (I) rheology law and its non-local modification in a
PISO-VOF numerical scheme with a sharp-interface-capturing THINC method for two …

This work presents a continuum model for simulating the flow of powders inside continuous
horizontal mixers. The challenge is to adopt a reliable rheological model that allows …

Prediction of multi-hazard slope stability events requires an informed and judicious choice of
the possible scenarios. An incorrect definition of landslide conditions in terms of expected …

We present a Lagrangian nodal integration method for the simulation of Newtonian and non-
Newtonian free-surface fluid flows. The proposed nodal Lagrangian method uses a finite …
