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 …

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 …

Landslide tsunamis represent a highly complex fluid-solid interaction process and this
complexity is one of the challenges in researching landslide disasters. Given the …

We present a new family of very high order accurate direct Arbitrary-Lagrangian-Eulerian
(ALE) Finite Volume (FV) and Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) schemes for the solution of …

Landslide tsunamis are complex fluid–solid coupling processes that often cause enormous
catastrophes. In this study, the smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH) and discrete element …

This paper, the second of a two-part series, analyses the efficiency of SPHysics and
illustrates its capabilities by means of several test cases. Some intrinsic features of the SPH …

Reservoir bank landslide and its generated surge waves are catastrophic hazards which
may give rise to additional sedimentation, destroy hydraulic structures, and even cause …

The generation of a tsunami wave by an aerial landslide is investigated through model
laboratory experiments. We examine the collapse of an initially dry column of grains into a …

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