Journal ArticleDOI
The physics of debris flows
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model that satisfies most of these criteria uses depth-averaged equations of motion patterned after those of the Savage-Hutter theory for gravity-driven flow of dry granular masses but generalized to include the effects of viscous pore fluid with varying pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Landslide triggering by rain infiltration
TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical model that uses reduced forms of the Richards equation to evaluate the effects of rainfall infiltration on landslide occurrence, timing, depth, and acceleration in diverse situations is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flow of variably fluidized granular masses across three‐dimensional terrain: 1. Coulomb mixture theory
TL;DR: In this article, a depth-averaged, three-dimensional mathematical model that accounts explicitly for solid and fluid-phase forces and interactions was developed to predict motion of diverse grain-fluid masses from initiation to deposition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Debris-flow mobilization from landslides
TL;DR: In this article, a review emphasizes models in which debris behavior evolves in response to changing pore pressures and granular temperatures, and quantifies how pore pressure and temperature can influence the behavior of debris flows.
Journal ArticleDOI
Objective delineation of lahar-inundation hazard zones
TL;DR: In this paper, a new method of delineating lahar hazard zones in valleys that head on volcano flanks is proposed, which provides a rapid, objective, reproducible alternative to traditional methods.
