Entrainment of bed material by Earth‐surface mass flows: Review and reformulation of depth‐integrated theory
RM Iverson, C Ouyang - Reviews of geophysics, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Earth‐surface mass flows such as debris flows, rock avalanches, and dam‐break floods can
grow greatly in size and destructive potential by entraining bed material they encounter …

Positive feedback and momentum growth during debris-flow entrainment of wet bed sediment
RM Iverson, ME Reid, M Logan, RG LaHusen… - Nature …, 2011 - nature.com
Debris flows typically occur when intense rainfall or snowmelt triggers landslides or
extensive erosion on steep, debris-mantled slopes. The flows can then grow dramatically in …

Undrained dynamic-loading ring-shear apparatus and its application to landslide dynamics
Landslides are gravitational mass movements of rock, debris or earth. Some move very
slowly, thus conforming to the field of statics, but some move rapidly. Study of the initiation …

Numerical analysis of dynamics of debris flow over erodible beds in Wenchuan earthquake-induced area
The basal entrainment of debris flows play a significant role in its amplification and the final
volume of deposition could be several to hundred times of its initial volume. In this paper, the …
