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 …

Debris flows are typically a saturated mixture of poorly sorted particles and interstitial fluid,
whose density and flow properties depend strongly on the presence of suspended fine …

The article is a review of mathematical models of snow avalanches that have been proposed
since the middle of the 20th century and are still in use. The main attention is paid to the …

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 …

Snow avalanches cause fatalities and economic loss worldwide and are one of the most
dangerous gravitational hazards in mountainous regions. Various flow behaviors have been …

Flood and mass movements originating from glacial environments are particularly
devastating in populated mountain regions of the world, but in the remote Mount Cook …

A fundamental problem in avalanche engineering is to determine the impact pressures
exerted on structures. This task is complicated because snow avalanches flow in a variety of …

Snow avalanches threaten settlements and roads in steep mountainous areas. Hazard
mitigation strategies apply numerical models in combination with GIS-based methods to …

In this paper we investigate the dam-break problem for viscoplastic (Herschel–Bulkley) fluids
down a sloping flume: a fixed volume of fluid initially contained in a reservoir is released …

GEOphysical flow dynamics using pulsed Doppler radAR (GEODAR), a custom radar
system, images avalanches over the entire slope with high spatial and temporal resolution at …
