• Comparing model and full-scale experiments on snow avalanche dynamics 

      Norem, Harald (NGI-rapport;58120-28, Research report, 1992-10-01)
      The paper is a part of a Japanese - Norwegian collaboration on snow avalanche dynamics. The results of model experiments carried out at the Institute of Low Temperature Science, Sapporo are compared with full-scale ...
    • Conclusions from a recent survey of avalanche computational models 

      Harbitz, Carl Bonnevie; Issler, Dieter; Keylock, Christopher J. (NGI Publication;203, Chapter, 1998)
      In this paper we summarise a survey report on computational models for snow avalanche motion that was developed within the frame-work of the EU research project SAME (Snow Avalanche Modelling, Mapping and Warning in Europe). ...
    • Dynamiske regnemodeller for steinskred 

      Schieldrop, Bonsak (NGI-rapport;58500-03, Research report, 1988-09-26)
      NGI har en nasjonal forpliktelse til å drive forskning og rådgivningsarbeid innenfor fagfeltet skred. Aktuelle skredtyper er kvikkleireskred, andre løsmasseskred, snøskred og steinskred. Dette forskningsprosjektet berører ...
    • Mangekanters bevegelse på skråplan 

      Schieldrop, Bonsak (NGI-rapport;58500-04, Research report, 1988-09-22)
      NGI har en nasjonal forpliktelse til å drive forskning og rådgivningsarbeid innenfor fagfeltet skred. Aktuelle skredtyper er kvikkleireskred, andre løsmasseskred, snøskred og steinskred. Dette forskningsprosjektet berører ...
    • Probabilistic calibration of avalanche block models. 

      Gauer, Peter; Medina-Cetina, Zenon; Lied, Karstein; Kristensen, Krister (The International Snow Science Workshop (ISSW) Proceedings;, Chapter, 2008)
      The Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI) has been operating the full-scale avalanche test-site Ryggfonn in western Norway for more than 25 years. During those years, measurements from about three dozen dry-snow avalanches ...
    • Shear stresses and boundary layers in snow avalanches 

      Norem, Harald (NGI-rapport;581240-03, Research report, 1995-10-20)
      Full-scale experiments on snow avalanches have shown that the major part ofthe avalanches are mixed flow avalanches, and that they consist of at least two parts, a dense flow part and a turbidity part. The report is based ...
    • The snowdrift pattern around two cubical obstacles with varying distance. Measurements and numerical simulations. 

      Thiis, Thomas K.; Jaedicke, Christian (Chapter, 2000)
      Snowdrifts around buildings can cause serious problems when formed on undesirable places. The formation of snowdrifts is highly connected to the wind pattern around the building, and the wind pattern is again dependent on ...
