modeling a hypothetical landslide, wave generation, and resulting tsunami with D-Claw
Assessment of the wave generating potential of a large landslide failure in the Barry Arm of Harriman Fjord, Prince William Sound, Alaksa.
modeling landslides, waves, breach erosion, and flows with D-Claw
Hypothetical case study - South Sister Volcano and moraine-dammed Carver Lake, Oregon.
modeling landslides, wave generation, and tsunamis with D-Claw
Case study - the 2015 Tyndall Glacier (Alaska) landslide and tsunami.
modeling alternative scenarios and mobility with D-Claw
Computations of the 2014 Oso, WA disaster reveal mobility bifurcations related to initial and critical porosities.
model development and validation informed by experiments
D-Claw granular-fluid model equations that incorporate dilatancy are informed by large-scale landslide initiation and runout experiments at the USGS debris-flow flume.
software for simulating granular-fluid flows
D-Claw is an open-source numerical software package for simulating granular-fluid flows, such as landslides, debris flows, and lahars.
modeling outburst floods with GeoClaw
GeoClaw is extended to dam-break outburst floods over general terrain.
software for simulating shallow-water flows
GeoClaw is an open-source numerical software package for water-wave propagation and inundation (tsunamis, storm surges, overland flooding).
