In nature, submarine slope failures usually carry thousands of cubic-meters of sediments across extremely long distances and cause tsunamis and damages to offshore structures. This paper uses the granular column collapse experiment to…
This paper investigates the effect of initial volume fraction on the runout characteristics of collapse of granular columns on slopes in fluid. Two-dimensional sub-grain scale numerical simulations are performed to understand the flow…
Granular column collapse is a simple but important problem to the granular material community, due to its links to dynamics of natural hazards, such as landslides and pyroclastic flows, and many industrial situations, as well as its…
In this letter, we focus on the size effect of granular column collapses, which are potentially connected to the dynamics of complex geophysical flows, even if the link between microscopic structures of granular assemblies and their…
We investigate granular column collapses with different column cross-sections and associate the cross-section shape influence with a finite-size analysis. Previous research, confined to initially circular configurations, reviewed the…
This paper deals with the experimental characterization of the collapse of wet granular columns in the pendular state, with the purpose of collecting data on triggering and jamming phenomena in wet granular media. The final deposit shape…
Basal effects have important implications for the high mobility and long runout of granular flows such as rock avalanches and landslides. However, fundamental understanding of the basal effect in granular flows remains challenging due to…
Granular column collapses result in an array of flow phenomena and deposition morphologies, the understanding of which brings insights into studying granular flows in both natural and engineering systems. Guided by experiments, we carried…
The behavior of granular column collapses is associated with the dynamics of geohazards, such as debris flows, landslides, and pyroclastic flows, yet its underlying physics is still not well understood. In this paper, we explore granular…
In this paper we propose a two-dimensional (2D) computational model, based on a molecular dynamics (MD) approach, for deep landslides triggered by rainfall. Our model is based on interacting particles or grains and describes the behavior of…
Gravity-driven collapses involving large amounts of dense granular material, such as landslides, avalanches, or rockfalls, in a geophysical context, represent significant natural hazards. Understanding their complex dynamics is hence a key…
In submerged sandy slopes, soil is frequently eroded as a combination of two main mechanisms: breaching, which refers to the retrogressive failure of a steep slope forming a turbidity current, and, instantaneous sliding wedges, known as…
Numerical simulations of the collapse and spreading of granular columns onto an horizontal plane using the Contact Dynamics method are presented. The final shape of the deposit seems to depend only on the aspect ratio $a$ of the columns;…
Granular intrusion is commonly observed in natural and human-made settings. Unlike typical solids and fluids, granular media can simultaneously display fluid-like and solid-like characteristics in a variety of intrusion scenarios. This…
In this Letter, we experimentally investigate the collapse of initially dry granular media into water and the subsequent impulse waves. We systematically characterize the influence of the slope angle and the granular material on the initial…
The generation of a tsunami wave by an aerial landslide is investigated through model laboratory experiments. We examine the collapse of an initially dry column of grains into a shallow water layer and the subsequent generation of waves.…
The entrainment of underlying erodible material by geophysical flows can significantly boost the flowing mass and increase the final deposition extent. The particle size of both the flowing material and the erodible substrate influence the…
Using the discrete element method (DEM), we study the splash processes induced by the impact of a grain on two types of granular beds, namely, randomly packed and FCC-structured beds.Good correspondence is obtained between our numerical…
Frictional instabilities in fluid saturated granular materials underlie natural hazards, including submarine landslides and earthquake initiation. Experiments show distinct failure behaviors under subaerial and subaqueous conditions due to…
The grain size distribution (GSD) plays an important role in the mechanical properties of amorphous disordered systems and complex granular materials. Varying GSD causes segregation issues and alters critical behaviors. This work used the…
