Description
Springer Avalanche Dynamics Dynamics of Rapid Flows of Dense Granular Avalanches by Shiva P Pudasaini and Kolumban Hutter
Avalanches, mudflows and landslides are common and natural phenomena that occur in mountainous regions. With an emphasis on snow avalanches, this book provides a survey and discussion about the motion of avalanche-like flows from initiation to run out. An important aspect of this book is the formulation and investigation of a simple but appropriate continuum mechanical model for the realistic prediction of geophysical flows of granular material.
