Comparison of flow resistance relations for debris flows using a one-dimensional finite element simulation model

This paper describes a one-dimensional finite element code for debris flows developed to model the flow within a steep channel and the stopping conditions on the fan. The code allows the systematic comparison of a wide variety of previously proposed one-phase flow resistance laws using the same fini...
