Main publication details
MARC recordThe dynamic friction characteristics of an ideal granular fluid applied to snow avalanche motion / J.D. Dent.
| Title: | The dynamic friction characteristics of an ideal granular fluid applied to snow avalanche motion / J.D. Dent. |
| Author(s): | Dent, J. D. |
| Date: | 1991. |
| In: | Eos : transactions, American Geophysical Union. (1991.), Vol. 72(44, supplement) (1991) |
| Abstract: | AGU Fall Meeting Program and Abstracts, December 9-13, 1991. Describes method of analysis. Results predict that, in general, dynamic friction coefficient should increase in nonlinear manner with speed of avalanche, but should decrease as avalanche gets bigger. Quantitative results can be used to develop model to predict speed and runout distance of rigid avalanche block. |
| Notes: | Eos : transactions, American Geophysical Union. Vol. 72(44, supplement) :182 (1991). |
| Keywords: | 551.578.48 -- Avalanches. 551.578.482 -- Avalanches. Theory, causes. E10 -- Glaciology: snow and avalanches. |
