Small-scale study of Debris-Flows Interactions with a Lateral Debris Basin and Crossings: The Manival Torrent case study [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 Small-scale models are useful tools to study the interactions between debris flows and structures and channels. Small-scale modelling of debris flows remains however complicated because of the complex rheology and scaling challenges of these geophysical ...

Numerical Modeling of Debris Flows Induced by Dam-Break Using the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) Method [PDF]
, 2020 Dam-break flows may change into debris flows if certain conditions are satisfied, such as abundant loose material and steep slope. These debris flows are typically characterized by high density and can generate strong impact forces. Due to the complexity

The 13 August 2010 catastrophic debris flows after the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, China [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2012 From 12 to 14 August 2010, heavy rainstorms occurred in the Sichuan province in SW China in areas which were affected by the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake, inducing catastrophic debris flows. This disaster is named as "the 8.13 debris flows".

Pulse-Doppler radar measurements of debris flows: High-resolution monitoring of surge dynamics from two events in the Gadria Creek (Italy) [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 As a consequence of their spontaneous occurrence, and frequent formation of multiple surges with high sediment loads, debris flows are considered one of the most hazardous gravity-driven mass movements in montane regions.

Regulation effect of slit-check dam against woody debris flow: Laboratory test
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 Woody debris flows (i.e., debris flows carrying wood) are common in mountainous and forested areas. They can cause more severe hazards due to the effects of LW (woody debris larger than 1 m in length and 10 cm in width) compared to debris flows without ...
