Dynamic modelling of extreme speed profiles of dry flowing avalanches

A brief review of different approaches to avalanche dynamics modelling is considered, drawing on observations and knowledge of avalanche behaviour and analogies with other physical phenomena. The numerical model used for this analysis, DAN, is described with respect to the formulation of the equa...
