Particle simulation of snow avalanche motion
(Journal article, 1984)The continuum model of a snow avalanche is abandoned, and instead an avalanche is modeled as a collection of particles that move randomly and independently subject to gravity and resistive forces which have a random ... -
Statistical and geometrical definition of snow avalanche runout
(Journal article, 1987)Two mathematical models for calculating the extreme avalanche runout from a fixed reference point on the path are presented and contrasted. The models are: (1) estimates of confidence limits on regression analyses of ...
