Synopsis
A practical, data-driven look at predicting avalanche runout and impact. This book introduces a new technique to estimate how far avalanches travel and how much debris they leave behind, using terrain and snow conditions. It also explains how a modified computer model simulates avalanche flow over real paths.
The text frames how to map avalanche risk for planning and zoning, with emphasis on objective runout predictions and the limits of models. It describes the underlying equations, boundary conditions, and input data needed to run the simulation, along with cautions about what the model can and cannot forecast.
- How runout distance and debris depths are estimated for specific avalanche paths
- How the modified simulation code adapts existing fluid dynamics tools to avalanches
- Which parameters influence flow behavior, including how data quality affects results
- What outputs the model provides and how to interpret them for risk assessment
Ideal for readers involved in avalanche zoning, land-use planning, and safety assessment in mountain regions.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a new computer program that analyzes avalanche runout distance, speed, and depth of debris in runout zones. The user inputs variables such as the avalanche path's longitudinal profile, snow thickness, and two friction coefficients which the program then uses alongside the Navier Stokes equations to model the avalanche. The program also allows for adjustment of input variables relevant to the avalanche's path, such as slope angle and varying surface friction. The author successfully tested the program in a variety of avalanche cases and determined the sensitivity of runout distance to various parameters. This book is an innovative and practical contribution to the field of avalanche science, with its modeling techniques providing valuable insights into the complex dynamics of avalanches. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781528021494_0
