Outline of Final Research Achievements

The numerical snow avalanche model for simulating the dynamic behavior of avalanche was developed. The present model was applied to several kinds of benchmarks as well as real scale phenomena to validate the accuracy and efficiency. The numerical results showed that the present model can capture well the fundamental characteristics of slow avalanche phenomena, such as, forming shock waves, entrainment of bed snow, etc. It is also be pointed out that the present model has enough quantitative accuracy in order to consider effective protection methods. We also performed the field experiments to consider effective energy dissipater for protection from avalanches. Through the comparison between the present numerical and experimental results, we proposed effective design for avalanche protection facilities.
