Cellular-Automata model for dense-snow avalanches [PDF]
, 2007 This paper introduces a three-dimensional model for simulating dense-snow avalanches, based on the numerical method of cellular automata. This method allows one to study the complex behavior of the avalanche by dividing it into small elements, whose ...

Micro-mechanical insights into the dynamics of crack propagation in snow fracture experiments
Scientific Reports, 2021 Dry-snow slab avalanches result from crack propagation in a highly porous weak layer buried within a stratified and metastable snowpack. While our understanding of slab avalanche mechanisms improved with recent experimental and numerical advances ...

Snow instability evaluation: calculating the skier-induced stress in a multi-layered snowpack [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2016 The process of dry-snow slab avalanche formation can be divided into two phases: failure initiation and crack propagation. Several approaches tried to quantify slab avalanche release probability in terms of failure initiation based on shear stress and ...

Eight-fold signal amplification of a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector using a multiple-avalanche architecture [PDF]
, 2014 Superconducting nanowire avalanche single-photon detectors (SNAPs) with n parallel nanowires are advantageous over single-nanowire detectors because their output signal amplitude scales linearly with n.
