"Avalanche dynamics" Description:
The Open Library:
Written for postgraduate/graduate students, researchers and practitioners in geophysics, geology, geography, land-use planning and decision making, mountain and terrain environments, civil, mechanical and environmental engineering, process engineering, applied mathematics and continuum physics. The first ever scientific and technological book on the field of the Avalanche Dynamics, covering a very wide range of the phenomena: from description of basic physics and geological processes to mathematics to modelling and applications. Summary: Avalanches, debris, mudflows and landslides are common and natural phenomena that occur worldwide, predominantly in mountainous regions. With an emphasis on snow avalanches, this book sets out to provide 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. This will help the practitioners in the field to better understand the physical input and provide them with a tool for their work. Originating from many lectures the authors have given over the years, this instructive volume brings the reader to the forefront of research - an aim also supported by an extensive bibliogrpahy of almost 500 entries. Avalanche Dynamics should be accessible to, and is intended for, a broad readership of researchers, graduate students and practitioners with backgrounds in geophysics, geology, civil and mechanical engineering, applied mathematics and continuum physics.
