Simulation of Mixture Flows : Pollution Spreading and Powder–Snow Avalanches
We are concerned with the numerical simulation of certain multi-fluids flows, which in particular arise in the modeling of pollutant spreading and powder–snow avalanches. The behavior of the mixture is described through a single mass density and a velocity field, with an unusual constraint that relates the divergence of the velocity to derivatives of the density. We propose a numerical scheme b...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of powder-snow avalanche interaction with an obstacle
In this paper we present direct numerical simulations of a sliding avalanche in aerosol regime. The second scope of this study is to get more insight into the interaction process between an avalanche and a rigid obstacle. An incompressible model of two miscible fluids can be successfully employed in this type of problems. We allow for mass diffusion between two phases according to the Fick’s la...
متن کاملNumerical simulations of dense clouds on steep slopes: Application to powder-snow avalanches
In this paper two-dimensional Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of dense clouds moving down steep slopes are presented for the first time. The results obtained are in good agreement with the overall characteristics – that is, the spatial growth rate and velocity variations – of clouds studied in the laboratory. Direct numerical simulations give, in addition to the overall flow structure, local...
متن کاملFrontal dynamics of powder snow avalanches Supplementary online material
Its gradient along a streamline is “favorable” (∂pus/∂s) < 0 for y > b′ − x, and “adverse” (∂pus/∂s) > 0 for y < b′ − x. On the interface where ψ = 0 and r = b′θ/ sin θ, pus(ψ = 0) vanishes at x = b′/2 ahead of the source (θ ' 10π/27), and is always < 0 downstream of that point. Because the interface has favorable pressure gradient until θ = θf ' 13π/20, and adverse ∀θ > θf , it is convenient t...
متن کاملMechanics of snow avalanches
The main problems of mechanics of snow avalanches are those of: (1) predicting avalanches, (2) avalanche motion, (3) the action of an avalanche upon obstacles, (4) the air wave, (5) the slow moving snow cover and its interaction with protective constructions and (6) the problem of artificial release of avalanches. This paper surveys the modern state of scientific knowledge about the nature of p...
