Description
Summary:This paper uses the SPH method to study snow disasters, including the snow flow model of a vertical water diffusion equation and heat balance equation. The advantage of the SPH method is that it can capture particles’ positions, which can be used to track the initial position distribution of hazardous particles. At the same time, a particle modeling method based on pixel value is proposed, which has certain advantages in dealing with the boundary modeling of different materials. In addition, snow disaster prevention and the control of classic embankment and cutting procedures were carried out. The final treatment results showed that the number of snow particles on the subgrade surface was reduced by about 90%. The validity and feasibility of the snow disaster simulation software based on the SPH method are verified by comparison with the experimental results.
