A GIS-based numerical model for simulating the kinematics of mud and debris flows over complex terrain

This article presents MassMov2D, a two-dimensional model of mud and debris flow dynamics over complex topography, based on a numerical integration of the depth-averaged motion equations using a shallow water approximation. The core part of the model was implemented using the GIS scripting language P...
