Description: Debris Flow : Mechanics, Prediction and Countermeasures, Hardcover by Takahashi, Tamotsu, ISBN 1138000078, ISBN-13 9781138000070, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UK Takahashi presents this discussion of debris flow, serving as an overview of his research in the field. Debris flow is defined and compared to other types of sediment moving phenomena, and several models of flow mechanics are covered. The initiation and development of a debris flow are described and mathematically modeled, and the mature phenomenon is characterized. Two chapters then discuss geological features and sediment runoff models that can be used to predict debris flows. The final two chapters present computer models that can reproduce the conditions of several highly destructive flow events, and preventive and protective measures. The mathematics is highly comprehensive, and a glossary of notation is included. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
