Shallow Geophysical Mass Flows down Arbitrary Topography, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2016 Model Equations in Topography-fitted Coordinates, Numerical Simulation and Back-calculations of Disastrous Events Advances in Geophysical and Environmental Mechanics and Mathematics Series
Langue : Anglais
Geophysical mass flows, such as landslides, avalanches or debris flows, are frequent mass movement processes in mountain areas and often cause disastrous damage. This book lays a foundation for formulating the depth-averaged equations describing the shallow geophysical mass flows over non-trivial topography. It consists of the detailed derivation of the model equations. The stimulating numerical examples demonstrate how the proposed models are applied. All this make this book accessible to a wide variety of readers, especially senior undergraduate and graduate students of fluid mechanics, civil engineering, applied mathematics, engineering geology, geophysics or engineers who are responsible for hazard management.
Topography-fitted coordinate system.- An alternative of topography-fitted coordinates — unified coordinate system.- Entrainment and deposition at the basal surface.- Continuum mechanical models in a topography-fitted coordinate system.- Numerical examples and experimental validation.- Back-calculation of natural disaster events.
Laying a mathematical foundation for the readers to formulate thin flows over non-trivial topography Stimulating practical examples and event back-calculations to demonstrate the applications of the models Highly beneficial to engineers and public servants who are involved in hazard mitigation projects Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
