Tsunami induced by subaerial landslides threatens coastal areas. The waves have mostly been studied in the laboratory using sliding blocks or granular media hitting a water body, but none of these materials makes it possible to understand how sliding mass’ ...
Experimental studies of impulse-wave formation have mostly used rigid blocks or granular materials to mimic landslides at the laboratory scale. These studies have deduced that material deformability plays a key part in wave formation: the more rigid the sl ...
Risk assessment of dam's running status is an important part of dam management. A data-driven method based on monitored displacement data has been applied in risk assessment, owing to its easy operation and real-time analysis. However, previous data-driven ...
We investigate viscoplastic fluids (described using a Herschel–Bulkley model) striking a body of water: a fixed volume of a viscoplastic material (a polymeric gel called Carbopol ultrez 10) initially contained in a box is released on a slope and flows down ...
A recurrent problem in avalanche engineering is related to impulse waves induced by snow avalanches striking a water basin. We took a first step toward the avalanche dynamics when falling into water by using a viscoplastic material that mimics avalanches. ...
Displacement data modelling is of great importance for the safety control of concrete dams. The commonly used artificial intelligence method modelled the displacement data at each monitoring point individually, i.e., the data correlations between the monit ...
