Analysis of river bed dynamic evolution following a landslide dam
(2015-12)
Article
Open AccessLandslides and debris flows can strongly interact with the river network and its mass transport processes, determining modifications of the river pattern with consequent effects on the hydrodynamic phenomena, alterations ... -
Application of the 2D depth-averaged model, FLATModel, to pumiceous debris flows in the Amalfi Coast
(2018-08-29)
Article
Open AccessFew studies about modelling pumice debris flows are available in literature. An integrated approach based on field surveys and numerical modelling is here proposed. A pumiceous debris flow, which occurred in the Amalfi ... -
Assessment methodology for the prediction of landslide dam hazard
(2014-03)
Article
Open AccessThis paper represents a contribution to the study of hazard caused by the interaction between landslides and river courses. The effects of such interferences are often catastrophic and could include the formation of upstream ... -
Debris flow warning through radar nowcasting and critical rainfall thresholds: a case study in the Glarus catchment (Switzerland)
(Springer, 2015)
Part of book or chapter of book
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe mitigation of debris flow (DF) risk can be achieved by the means of reliable warning systems. At present time, operational warning systems are mostly based on critical rainfall thresholds (CRT) derived through the ... -
Debris flows and general steep slope shallow water flows numerical simulation
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2011-01-24)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThe main target of this research is to develop a numerical model for debris flow simulations. As it is known, in general, this kind of flows occur in steeped mountain slopes. When dealing with the complete 3D physic system ... -
Debris-flow susceptibility analysis using fluvio-morphological parameters and data mining: application to the Central-Eastern Pyrenees
(2013-06)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyBased on debris-flow inventories and using a geographical information system, the susceptibility models presented here take into account fluvio-morphologic parameters, gathered for every first-order catchment. Data mining ... -

Desarrollo de herramientas para la evaluación preliminar de la peligrosidad de corrientes detríticas
(2010)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyCon el objetivo de proporcionar recomendaciones para la alerta temprana de fenómenos potencialmente desencadenantes de corrientes detríticas (“Debris Flow”), uno de los temas principales es la identificación preliminar de ... -
Development of preliminary assessment tools to evaluate debris flow risks
(Centro Internacional de Métodos Numéricos en Ingeniería (CIMNE), 2010)
Conference report
Open AccessIn the framework of the IMPRINTS European Research Project (FP7), a toolbox for fast assessment of debris flow hazard has been developed. The aim of this toolbox is to implement different existing models inside a common ... -
Experimental studies on 3D impulse waves generated by rapid landslides and debris flows
(2013)
Conference lecture
Open AccessThe input of material in a water body at high velocity, like a landslide or a debris flow, can induce a big, abnormal wave, known as impulse wave or landslide tsunami wave. Once the wave is triggered, the effects on the ... -
High-speed debris-flows generating 2D impulse waves: Experimental analysis
(2012)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyWhen a landslide or a debris-flow falls in a water body, a big wave, known as impulse wave or landslide tsunami wave, can be generated. That phenomenon can be highly destructive and unlikely predicted, involving dams and ... -
La turbulencia en los flujos en cauces con lecho vegetado. Estudio teórico-experimental con aplicación del "Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter" ADV
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2002-09-13)
Minor thesis
Open AccessLos cálculos hidráulicos sobre flujos en canales se fundamentan en coeficientes de resistencia al flujo de los diferentes materiales de construcción. Estos coeficientes son un modelo simplificado de todos los procesos ... -
Morpho-fluvial analysis of headwater catchments: an example from the Central-Eastern Pyrenees
(2015-05)
Article
Open AccessGeomorphometry of headwater catchments has been poorly reported in the Central-Eastern Pyrenees. This study presents a series of parameters obtained for Central-Eastern Pyrenean headwater catchments. The database consists ... -
Numerical analysis of MHD-thermofluid flows considering sandwich structures as applied to liquid breeding blankets for fusion technology
(2011)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyLead lithium flowing inside breeding blanket’s channels in a fusion reactor is subject to a Hartmann number of 104 and a Grashof number 10912. Since under such conditions buoyancy can be of the same order of magnitude ... -
Real drive cycles analysis by ordered power methodology applied to fuel consumption, CO2, NOx and PM emissions estimation
(Springer, 2021-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn this work three fuel consumption and exhaust emission models, ADVISOR, VT-MICRO and the European Environmental Agency Emission factors, have been used to obtain fuel consumption (FC) and exhaust emissions. These models ... -
Setup of an experimental device for high-speed debris flows generating 2D impulse waves
(2011)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyLandslides and debris flows falling into reservoirs, natural lakes, fjords or seas can generate impulse waves, which can be assimilated to tsunami-water waves. Such wave’s behavior can be highly destructive regarding dams ... -
The economic impact of climate change on urban drainage master planning in Barcelona
(2021-01)
Article
Open AccessIn the context of global change, urban drainage infrastructures must be planned considering future challenges such as new climate change and urban growth scenarios. Large cities require master plans to properly rank and ... -
The energy transfer from granular landslides to water bodies explained by a data-driven, physics-based numerical model
(2020-10-29)
Article
Open AccessLandslides falling into water can trigger tsunamis, which are particularly destructive in the proximity of the landslide impact and in narrow water bodies. The energy transfer mechanism between landslide and water wave is ... -
