“…In what follows the curvature effects have been neglected (Di Nucci et al, 2007, 2011. Moreover, supposing that: -spatial variations occur over scales larger than flow depth; -flow resistance by the sidewalls is negligible with respect to that by bottom; -momentum correction factor is equal to unity; -surface tension is negligible; the dimensional depth-averaged momentum and mass conservation equations are (Ancey et al, 2012)…”

Abstract:The paper addresses the prediction of roll-waves occurrence in mud-flows. The spatial growth of a point-wise disturbance is analytically described, based on the linearized flow model of a Herschel and Bulkley fluid, in the neighborhood of an initial uniform base condition. The theoretical achievements allow to generalize to mud-flows the minimum channel criterion commonly used for the prediction of roll-waves in clear-water. The applicability of the criterion is discussed through the comparison with literature laboratory data concerning unstable flows without rollwaves.

“…The study considers the one-layer one-dimensional Herschel-Bulkley model [3], which although less complete of the Huang and Garcia [21] one is mathematically more tractable and therefore more frequently adopted in engineering applications [1,2,4,10,24]. Following the technique used for clearwater by Tsai [36,37], a sinusoidal perturbation of the linearized flow model around an initial gradually-varied profile is considered.…”

Can the collapse of a fly ash heap develop into an air-fluidized flow? — Reanalysis of the Jupille accident (1961)

et al. 2015

A fly ash heap collapse occurred in Jupille (Liege, Belgium) in 1961. The subsequent flow of fly ash reached a surprisingly long runout and had catastrophic consequences. Its unprecedented degree of fluidization attracted scientific attention. As drillings and direct observations revealed no water-saturated zone at the base of the deposits, scientists assumed an air-fluidization mechanism, which appeared consistent with the properties of the material. In this paper, the air-fluidization assumption is tested based on two-dimensional numerical simulations. The numerical model has been developed so as to focus on the most prominent processes governing the flow, with parameters constrained by their physical interpretation. Results are compared to accurate field observations and are presented for different stages in the model enhancement, so as to provide a base for a discussion of the relative influence of pore pressure dissipation and pore pressure generation. These results show that the apparently high diffusion coefficient that characterizes the dissipation of air pore pressures is in fact sufficiently low for an important degree of fluidization to be maintained during a flow of hundreds of meters.
