Recent advances in theory and experimentation motivate a thorough reassessment of the
physics of debris flows. Analyses of flows of dry, granular solids and solid‐fluid mixtures …

Landslide-generated waves (LGWs) are among natural hazards that have stimulated
attentions and concerns of engineers and researchers during the past decades. At the same …

This paper presents a new, generalized two‐phase debris flow model that includes many
essential physical phenomena. The model employs the Mohr‐Coulomb plasticity for the …

The objective of this review is to examine how the concept of plasticity is used in
geophysical fluid dynamics. Rapid mass movements such as snow avalanches or debris …

Using results from an 8 m2 instrumented force plate we describe field measurements of
normal and shear stresses, and fluid pore pressure for a debris flow. The flow depth …

Models that employ a fixed rheology cannot yield accurate interpretations or predictions of
debris-flow motion, because the evolving behavior of debris flows is too complex to be …

Debris flow susceptibility mapping is considered to be useful for hazard prevention and
mitigation. As a frequent debris flow area, many hazardous events have occurred annually …

Landsliding is one of the many natural processes that shape the surface of the earth. It is
only when landslides threaten mankind that they represent a hazard. Landslides belong to a …

A previously unreported shock feature associated with the scouring of a horizontal granular
bed by a dam-break wave is discussed. Near the wave centre, the present study shows, the …

Flexible barriers are increasingly used for the protection from debris flow in mountainous
terrain due to their low cost and environmental impact. However, the development of a …
