Velocity profile of debris flow based on quadratic rheology model
The quadratic rheology model considers the yield stress, viscous stress, turbulent stress and disperse stress, so it is used in this study to derive the velocity profile of debris flows. The quadratic model wi...

Effects of seismic surge waves and implications for moraine-dammed lake outburst
Moraine dams usually collapse due to overtop** by the surge wave in the dammed lake, and the surge wave is most likely caused by an earthquake. The seismic water wave (SWW) is a major factor causing the dam ...
