Numerical modelling of dense snow avalanches with a well-balanced scheme based on the 2D shallow water equations

A common technique for simulating non–Newtonian fluid dynamics, such as snow avalanches, is to solve the Shallow Water Equations (SWE), together with a rheological model describing the momentum dissipation by shear stresses. Friction and cohesion terms are commonly modelled using the Voellmy frictio...
