Download or read book Coupled DEM CFD Analyses of Landslide Induced Debris Flows written by Tao Zhao and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-22 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reflects the latest research results in computer modelling of landslide-induced debris flows. The book establishes an understanding of the initiation and propagation mechanisms of landslides by means of numerical simulations, so that mitigation strategies to reduce the long-term losses from landslide hazards can be devised. In this context, the book employs the Discrete Element Method (DEM) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to investigate the mechanical and hydraulic behaviour of granular materials involved in landslides – an approach that yields meaningful insights into the flow mechanisms, concerning e.g. the mobilization of sediments, the generation and dissipation of excess pore water pressures, and the evolution of effective stresses. As such, the book provides valuable information, useful methods and robust numerical tools that can be successfully applied in the field of debris flow research.

This book was released on 2024-08-21 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At present, the intensification of global climate and environmental change has led to frequent occurrence of natural hazards. Various types of natural hazards always overlap and interact, or occur in a chain reaction, with a wide range of impacts and a long period of time, resulting in serious disaster losses. Typically, major earthquakes and geological hazards, extreme meteorological hazards, large-scale floods and droughts, marine disasters, and forest and grassland fires, as well as their compound and chained hazards are among the key factors affecting human life safety and world economic development. To better our understanding of disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief, it is thus pivotal to facilitate advanced perception, intelligent early warning, accurate prevention, and efficient rescue of natural hazards. This Research Topic aims to collect both Original Research and Review articles addressing the state-of-the-art advances of theories and methodologies in all types of natural hazards. Studies underlining the compound and chained relationship between different hazards are in particular welcomed. Potential themes include, but are not limited to: • Mechanisms of formation, evolution, and disaster process of multiple natural hazards as well as their compound and chained natural hazards • Model and scenario development regarding whole process control, chain breaking of key nodes, and precise prevention of major natural hazard chains • Methods and applications on detection, identification, database establishment, and spatiotemporal evolution law analysis of natural hazard sources • Technologies on intelligent early warning and refined risk assessment of compound and chained natural hazards. • Rescue equipment and investigation of post-disaster community reconstruction

This book was released on 2024-01-29 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the beginning of the 21st century, global environmental problems have become increasingly prominent, and extreme weather events have become more frequent. The irrational development and excessive construction of underground space have also led to various disasters, such as landslides, collapses, debris flows, and ground collapses. According to the data released in the National Geological Disaster Bulletin, 133899 geological disasters have occurred in China from 2009 to 2019, of which landslides accounted for 71%, collapses for 19%, and debris flows for 8%, and ground collapses for 2%. The number of casualties and economic losses caused by rock and soil disasters are the greatest in the world. Therefore, a good understanding of disaster-causing mechanisms of rock and soil has a strong theoretical and practical significance for the safe construction of diversified geotechnical projects.
Download or read book Recent Advances in Modeling Landslides and Debris Flows written by Wei Wu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-09-12 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Landslides and debris flows belong to the most dangerous natural hazards in many parts of the world. Despite intensive research, these events continue to result in human suffering, property losses, and environmental degradation every year. Better understanding of the mechanisms and processes of landslides and debris flows will help make reliable predictions, develop mitigation strategies and reduce vulnerability of infrastructure. This book presents contributions to the workshop on Recent Developments in the Analysis, Monitoring and Forecast of Landslides and Debris Flow, in Vienna, Austria, September 9, 2013. The contributions cover a broad spectrum of topics from material behavior, physical modelling over numerical simulation to applications and case studies. The workshop is a joint event of three research projects funded by the European Commission within the 7th Framework Program: MUMOLADE (Multiscale modelling of landslides and debris flows, www.mumolade.com), REVENUES (Numerical Analysis of Slopes with Vegetations, http://www.revenues-eu.com) and HYDRODRIL (Integrated Risk Assessment of Hydrologically-Driven Landslides, www.boku.ac.at/igt/).

Download or read book Debris Flow written by G. Lorenzini and published by WIT Press. This book was released on 2004-02-05 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Debris flows are among the most frequent and destructive of all geomorphic processes, mainly affecting mountainous areas in a range of morphoclimatic environments, and the damage they cause is often devastating. Increased anthropisation calls for improvements in the criteria used to identify debris-flow risk areas and the prevention measures adopted. One of the main difficulties encountered by the approaches illustrated in previous literature is linked to their possible validation either in the field or in a laboratory environment. The choice of a rheological model is extremely important. This book provides methodological details, which can be applied to investigations on debris-flow mechanics, capable of providing an accurate representation of the phenomenology.
Download or read book Monitoring Simulation Prevention and Remediation of Dense and Debris Flows III written by D. De Wrachien and published by WIT Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Debris and hyper-concentrated flows are among the most destructive of all water related disasters. They affect both rural and urban areas in a wide range of morphoclimatic environments, and in recent years have attracted more and more attention from the scientific and professional communities and concern from the public due to the death toll they claim. The increased frequency of these natural hazards, coupled with climatic change predictions and urban development, suggests that they are set to worsen in the future. This book contains the edited versions of the papers presented at the third International conference on Monitoring, Simulation, Prevention and Remediation of Dense and Debris Flows. The Conference brought together engineers, scientists and managers from across the globe to discuss the latest scientific advancs in the field of dense and hyper-concentrated flows, as well as to improve models, assess risk, develop hazard maps based on model results and to design prevention and mitigation measures. The papers have been organised into the following sections: Debris Flow Modelling; Debris Flow Triggering; Risk Assessment and Hazard Mitigation; Sediment Transport and Debris Flow Monitoring & Analysis.
