This paper documents a series of small-scale laboratory experiments of dam-break waves
propagating over loose granular beds, realised in a dedicated flume equipped with a fast …

This paper presents a two-dimensional depth-integrated theory for the gravity-driven free-
surface flow of a granular avalanche over an arbitrarily but gently curved and twisted …

A main objective in landslide research is to predict how far they will travel. Landslides are
complex, and a complete understanding in principle requires accounting for numerous …

This paper investigates the interaction between rapid granular flow and an obstacle. The
distinct element method (DEM) is used to simulate the flow regimes observed in laboratory …

The depositional processes and gas pore pressure in pyroclastic flows are investigated
through scaled experiments on transient, initially fluidized granular flows. The flow structure …

Snow erosion and entrainment processes in avalanches are classified according to their
mechanisms, the flow regimes in which they occur, and their spatial position within the …

In case of exceptional floods induced by the failure of a dam or flooddefence structure, huge
amounts of sediments may be eroded. This results in large-scale modifications of the valley …

The interaction between rapid, free-surface granular flows and deflecting dams is
investigated by laboratory experimentation and by the formulation and analysis of a shallow …

Laboratory granular landslides are smaller-scale, simplified, yet well-controlled versions of
larger and often tragic natural landslides. Using systematic experiments and scaling …

The emplacement dynamics of pyroclastic flows were investigated through noninvasive
measurements of the pore fluid pressure in laboratory air‐particle flows generated from the …
