• Comments on avalanche flow models based on the concept of random kinetic energy 

      Issler, Dieter; Jenkins, JT; McElwaine, J.N. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)
      In a series of papers, Bartelt and co-workers developed novel snow-avalanche models in which random kinetic energy RK (a.k.a. granular temperature) is a key concept. The earliest models were for a single, constant density ...
    • A comparison of avalanche models with data from dry-snow avalanches at Ryggfonn, Norway 

      Issler, Dieter; Harbitz, Carl Bonnevie; Kristensen, Krister; Lied, Karstein; Moe, Arne; Barbolini, M.; Khazaradze, G.; McElwaine, J.N.; Mears, A.I.; Naaim, M.; Sailer, R. (Chapter, 2005)
      Twelve well-documented dry-snow avalanches from the instrurnented Ryggfonn path in western Norway were selected for back-ca1culations with several dynamical avalanche models. In each case, the run-out distance, the front ...
