Snow entrainment alters the speed and hence the run‐out distance of avalanches, yet little
is known about this significant process. We studied entrainment in snow avalanches using …

The entrainment of channel-path material plays an important role during runout of many
rapid landslides. Such a mechanism is able to change the mobility of a flow significantly …

Dense avalanches made of dry snow were studied as granular flows, through the
development and use of a numerical model based on the shallow water theory. Friction was …

Snow avalanches are a major natural hazard in most snow-covered mountain areas of the
world. They are rapid gravity-driven mass movements and are considered a …

Dynamic avalanche modeling requires as input the volumes and areas of the snow
released, and consequently the fracture heights. Determining these parameters requires …

Stochastic models are recent but unavoidable tools for snow avalanche hazard mapping
that can be described in a general system framework. For the computation of design return …

Many natural phenomena such as snow avalanches, debris flows, or lahars involve
gravitational transport and deposition that is largely governed by topography. This paper …

Cet ouvrage est le premier en langue française exclusivement consacré à l'étude
quantitative des avalanches de neige. Leur phénoménologie ainsi que les bases de calcul …

Observations of the deposits, flow marks, and damages of three mixed-snow avalanches of
widely different size were analyzed with regard to flow regimes, velocities, pressures …

The analytical and numerical models that are used in practical snow avalanche dynamics
calculations contain a questionable simplification: they assume that avalanche mass is …
