Small-Scale Flume Investigation of the Performance of Step-Baffle Drainage Channels in Mitigating Debris Flows

Drainage channels are widely used for discharging debris flows into deposition basins or rivers. However, the current drainage channel designs for guiding rapid debris flows downstream do not account for the variations of the gullies’ gradient and debris flow energy. In this study, we evaluated the...
