Analysis of superelevation and debris flow velocities at Illgraben, Switzerland

The forced vortex equation, based on the cross-stream inclination of a flow surface as it passes through a bend, is a common approach to estimating debris flow velocities. Here, we present the preliminary results of a study of superelevation and the correction factor k, used to adapt the forced vort...
