Comparing Flow-R, Rockyfor3D and RAMMS to Rockfalls from the Mel de la Niva Mountain: A Benchmarking Exercise

Geosciences, 2023
Rockfall simulations are often performed at various levels of detail depending on the required safety margins of rockfall-hazard-related assessments. As a pseudo benchmark, the simulation results from different models can be put side-by-side and compared
