THEORY AND PRACTICE OF INDIVIDUAL SNOW AVALANCHE RISK ASSESSMENT IN THE RUSSIAN ARCTIC

Geography, Environment, Sustainability, 2012
In recent years, the Government of the Russian Federation considerably increased attention to the exploitation of the Russian Arctic territories. Simultaneously, the evaluation of snow avalanches danger was enhanced with the aim to decrease fatalities ...

Accomplishments of one-dimensional mathematical model of debris flow and snow avalanches [PDF]

, 2015
Due to inability to entirely prevent debris flow and snow avalanches, it is reasonable to develop\ud mathematical models that allow us to predict and design sufficient protection measures in endangered\ud areas.

How Volume Increases the Mobility of Geophysical Granular Flow: A Unified Rheological Perspective

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Geophysical granular flows, involving rapidly flowing granular materials, can exhibit volume‐enhanced mobility. Lacking a mechanistic understanding of such size effects limits the applications of lab‐scale findings to natural events. Using discrete element method simulations, we find that increasing granular system size suppresses energy ...

Snow Avalanches

, 2004
Snow avalanches represent a threat to societies in many countries of the world. In America, Asia, Australia, and Europe, several mountainous countries are affected by this type of natural hazard. People, housing areas, communication lines, ski areas, animals, and woodland are subjected to the threat of snow avalanches.

A study on the size of snow particles in powder-snow avalanches [PDF]

Annals of Glaciology, 2001
AbstractIn this work, we study the size of the particles involved in a powder-snow avalanche. To determine this value, we study all the phenomena encountered by the particles before they arrive in the “body” of the avalanche. We study the boundary layer which is at the bottom of the avalanche. We determine, with the help of experimental data, the range

Self-Organized Criticality in Protein Folding Simulations with AMBER Parameters [PDF]

, 2014
AMBER (Assisted Model Building with Energy Refinement) is a force field that allows for the simulation of proteins. Basic proteins were folded by a Monte-Carlo algorithm parameterized by AMBER on MATLAB. Simulations exhibited self-organized critical (SOC)

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.
