Information - NH3.04 Debris Flows: mathematical modelling, laboratory and field tests
Event Information
Prediction of the areas potentially inundated by debris flows is a key part of hazard assessment in mountainous regions. The debris flow problem, from determining the initiation mechanism and initial volume to transport and entrainment of sediment and finally to deposition, is complex and is probably best approached through interdisciplinary research. This session aims to bring together new research results from a variety of different approaches to understanding the process of debris flow. In particular, we encourage presentations on mathematical modelling, innovative laboratory research and detailed field observations which yield insight into the debris flow process. Presentations are encouraged from any one of these topics, but presentations combining several of these approaches are especially welcomed. While this session emphasizes debris flows, innovative contributions related to similar geophysical flows (e.g. dry granular flows such as flow snow avalanches) are also welcome.
