Basal shear and normal stresses of dry and wet snow avalanches after a slope deviation
(Journal article, 2007)Basal shear and normal force measurements of dry and wet snow avalanches and slush flows from the Weissfluhjoch snow chute are presented. This chute contains two slope angle transitions in order to measure the effect of ... -
On the computation of parameters that model snow avalanche motion
(Journal article, 1981)This paper explores the computational problem of finding suitable numbers to use in a twoparameter model of snow avalanche dynamics. The two parameters are friction, y, and a ratio of avalanche mass to drag, MID. Given a ...
