Avalanche dynamics by Newton. Reply to comments on avalanche flow models based on the concept of random kinetic energy

Journal of Glaciology, 2018
The critique by Issler and other (2017) of our avalanche dynamics model maintains that we disregard well-established results of particulate gravity flows.

Modelling and simulation of powder-snow avalanches [PDF]

, 2006
International audienceFinite volume release gravity currents of large density contrast on steep slopes, representing powder-snow avalanches, are simulated numerically using a dynamic mesh adaptation technique.

Geospatial modeling of snow avalanches on the Šar Mountains, Balkan Peninsula [PDF]

Glasnik Srpskog Geografskog Društva
Snow avalanches are among the most significant natural hazards worldwide in high mountain areas. Mapping the spatial distribution of avalanches is one of the initial steps in avalanche management. In this study, geospatial modeling was performed

Influence of slab depth spatial variability on skier-triggering probability and avalanche size

Annals of Glaciology
Spatial variability of snowpack properties adds uncertainty in the evaluation of avalanche hazard. We propose a combined mechanical–statistical approach to study how spatial variation of slab depth affects the skier-triggering probability and possible ...

Physical vulnerability of reinforced concrete buildings impacted by snow avalanches [PDF]

, 2010
This paper deals with the assessment of physical vulnerability of civil engineering structures to snow avalanche loadings. In this case, the vulnerability of the element at risk is defined by its damage level expressed on a scale from 0 (no damage) to 1 (

Particle trajectories, velocities, accelerations and rotation rates in snow avalanches

Annals of Glaciology
Understanding the dynamics of snow avalanches is crucial for predicting their destructive potential and mobility. To gain insight into avalanche dynamics at a particle level, the AvaNode in-flow sensor system was developed.

Dynamic models for impact-initiated stress waves through snow columns

Journal of Glaciology
The objective of this research is to model snow's response to dynamic, impact loading. Two constitutive relationships are considered: elastic and Maxwell-viscoelastic.

Snow avalanches and evaluation of risks for snow avalanches

, 1976
Artikkelen gir først en kort historikk av snøskredforskning i Norge. Den er nå organisert ved Norges Geotekniske Institutt som har etablert en fast forskningsstasjon i høyfjellet.

Snow gliding and glide snow avalanches: recent outcomes from two experimental test sites in Aosta Valley (NW Italian Alps) [PDF]

, 2018
We have been continuing our research on snow gliding and glide snow avalanches in two experimental test sites in Aosta Valley Region. The sites are located in the Monterosa Ski resorts at 2100-2200 m a.s.l.
