Estimation of the velocity at the impact of high rate sliding granular masses

Two analytical block models to estimate the maximum velocity reached by granular flows are proposed. The first one models the speed evolution of coarse-grained materials flows (e.g. debris flows, avalanches); it is based on the power balance of a granular mass sliding along planar surface, written b...
