Effect of unsteady flow dynamics on the impact of monodisperse and bidisperse granular flow

Bei Zhang et al.

Summary: Protective barriers play a crucial role in resisting the impact of granular flows. However, there is a need for further investigation on how to estimate the impact force accurately. Traditional practices assume that the lower part of the flow has the same velocity as the bulk flow, but our observations show that the lower part consistently has lower velocities due to enhanced granular shear behavior within the boundary layer. Using the bulk velocity for impact force estimation may result in underestimation of approximately 10-30%. Based on our numerical results, we suggest adopting the average velocity of the upper 50% of the flow body for impact force estimation.

Challenges and perspectives in designing engineering structures against debris-flow disaster

Yu Huang et al.

Summary: Debris-flow disaster has caused significant casualties and economic losses. The design strategy for disaster prevention should focus on improving impact force estimation, run-up height prediction, failure analysis, and plain configuration planning. Current methods mostly rely on hydraulic theory, lacking consideration for physical mechanisms, such as nonstationary flow regimes, impact patterns, and barrier characteristics. Physically based design strategies and robust physical modeling methods and numerical simulation tools are needed to understand flow-structure interaction mechanisms and verify structure design strategies. Additionally, the resilience-based disaster prevention concept should be emphasized for effective preparedness, response, and recovery.

Impact behavior of superspeed granular flow: Insights from centrifuge modeling and DEM simulation

Bei Zhang et al.

Summary: The impact behavior of superspeed granular flows is crucial for barrier design, but lacks sufficient understanding. This study used centrifuge modeling and numerical modeling to investigate the energy consumption mechanism during granular flow impacts and proposed a static failure mode to estimate the action force. Additionally, it was found that reduced scale models under lower stress conditions may underestimate the impact force.

Impact behaviour of dry granular flow against baffle structure: coupled effect of Froude and particle characteristics

Bei Zhang et al.

Summary: The design of baffles is influenced by particle size distribution and Froude characteristics, as shown in discrete-element method simulations. Baffle deceleration and granular flow run-up are affected by factors like particle size and Froude characteristics, with bidisperse granular flow having a more complex interaction with the baffles.

A new physically based impact model for debris flow

Xingyue Li et al.

Summary: A new analytical model has been proposed to estimate the peak impact pressure of debris flow on a rigid barrier, incorporating static and dynamic impacting effects. The coefficients in the model are determined through conservation equations and validated with data from experiments and numerical simulations. The model offers potential improvements for reliable estimation and practical design of debris-resisting barriers.

Computational assessment of baffle performance against rapid granular flows

Yu Huang et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the performance of baffle structures in rapid granular flows using a flow-baffle interaction model, considering the effects of particle size and baffle shape. The results show that particle size is a key factor influencing baffle performance, while enhanced particle-particle interaction is the dominant energy dissipation mechanism.

Towards rational use of baffle arrays on sloped and horizontal terrain for filtering boulders

S. R. Goodwin et al.

Summary: Baffle arrays are effective in reducing impact load from boulders in granular flows, with a recommended spacing ratio of 1 < s/delta < 4. A staggered array with three rows of baffles on a horizontal plane is the optimal configuration for peak discharge reduction by up to four times.

Numerical investigation of the mechanism of granular flow impact on rigid control structures

Edward Yang et al.

Summary: The study suggests that when designing baffles arrays to maximize flow deceleration, the height of the baffles should reach a minimum critical value quantifiable from the flow depth without baffles. Check-dam systems are more effective in reducing run-out distances, but experience higher forces compared to baffles. Flow-control structures leading to shorter run-out distances are associated with lower total energy dissipation, faster kinetic energy dissipation, and lower downstream peak flow rates in granular flows.

Impact dynamics of debris flow against rigid obstacle in laboratory experiments

Dongri Song et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the kinetic and dynamic behavior of debris-flow impact with varying flow regimes through laboratory tests. The interaction between debris flows and obstacles was found to increase liquefaction ratio in the impact area, resulting in a more fluid-like state of debris flow. The two analytical models were able to distinguish runup height around the threshold Froude number 3-4.

Stress level effect on mobility of dry granular flows of angular rock fragments

B. Cagnoli

Summary: The study on simulating granular flows of angular rock fragments using the discrete element method found that while large-scale flows generate stresses that affect flow mobility, those that slide en mass are not influenced by stress levels. However, stress level governs flow mobility in cases where granular flow dynamics is affected by clast agitation and collisions.

Micro-mechanism and efficiency of baffle structure in deceleration of granular flows

Bei Zhang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the interaction between debris and baffles at a grain scale, finding that the formation of a granular arch between the baffle slit plays a significant role in controlling this interaction. Factors such as particle size, flow stability, and construction site were identified as key influencers on the efficiency of baffles in decelerating granular flows. Additionally, it was observed that constructing baffles near deposition areas may not be an effective engineering option due to a decreased impact force, energy dissipation, and flow run-out distance compared to baffles constructed on slopes.
