Main publication details
MARC recordNumerical simulation of powder-snow avalanches / Yusuke Fukushima, Gary Parker.
| Title: | Numerical simulation of powder-snow avalanches / Yusuke Fukushima, Gary Parker. |
| Author(s): | Fukushima, Yusuke. Parker, Gary. |
| Date: | 1990. |
| In: | Journal of Glaciology. (1990.), Vol. 36(123) (1990) |
| Abstract: | Model is described: as opposed to previous models, total buoyancy of avalanche is allowed to change freely via erosion from and deposition to static snow layer on slope. In model, snow-particle entrainment rate from slope is directly linked to level of turbulence. Model is applied to prediction of major powder-snow avalanche at Maseguchi, Japan, on 26 January 1986. Description was reasonably accurate. |
| Notes: | Journal of Glaciology. Vol. 36(123) :229-237 (1990). |
