When the upper part of a neutron star crystallizes to form the crust, the constituting ions are trapped in the lattice as a result of the low diffusion rates in the solid phase. As a consequence, the local composition of the crust corresponds to the equilibrium condition at the melting point and not at the present internal temperature. The inclusion of the small entropic contribution to the free energy does not lead to marked changes in our view of the microscopic structure of a neutron star crust, because the melting temperature is much smaller than the typical energies at play in the crystal cell. However, mixing between layers characterized by different nuclear species is found to be an important effect for the production of impurities. We show that one should expect an increase of the thermal diffusion time through the crust at small temperatures, because of the decrease of thermal conductivity in relatively thin impurity-rich layers acting as isolating shields. 相似文献

The rheology of debris flows is difficult to characterize owing to the varied composition and to the uneven distribution of the components that may range from clay to large boulders, in addition to water. Few studies have addressed debris flow rheology from observational, experimental, and theoretical viewpoints in conjunction. We present a coupled rheological‐numerical model to characterize the debris flows in which cohesive and frictional materials are both present. As a first step, we consider small‐scale artificial debris flows in a flume with variable percentages of clay versus sand, and measure separately the rheological properties of sand–clay mixtures. A comparison with the predictions of a modified version of the numerical model BING shows a reasonable agreement between measurements and simulations. As application to a field case, we analyse a recent debris flow that occurred in Fjærland (Western Norway) for which much information is now available. The event was caused by a glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) originating from the failure of a moraine ridge. In a previous contribution (Breien et al., Landslides, 2008 , 5: 271–280) we focused on the hydrological and geomorphological aspects. In particular we documented the marked erosion and reported the change in sediment transport during the event. In contrast to the laboratory debris flows, the presence of large boulders and the higher normal pressure inside the natural debris flow requires the introduction of a novel rheological model that distinguishes between mud‐to–clast supported material. We present simulations with a modified BING model with the new cohesive‐frictional rheology. To account for the severe erosion operated by the debris flow on the colluvial deposits of Fjærland, we also suggest a simple model for erosion and bulking along the slope path. Numerical simulations suggest that a self‐sustaining mechanism could partly explain the extreme growth of debris flows running on a soft terrain. 相似文献

Statistical Analysis of Landslide Events in Central America and their Run-out Distance 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Statistical analyses of landslide deposits from similar areas provide information on dynamics and rheology, and are the basis
for empirical relationships for the prediction of future events. In Central America landslides represent an important threat
in both volcanic and non-volcanic areas. Data, mainly from 348 landslides in Nicaragua, and 19 in other Central American countries
have been analyzed to describe landslide characteristics and to search for possible correlations and empirical relationships.
The mobility of a landslide, expressed as the ratio between height of fall (H) and run-out distance (L) as a function of the
volume and height of fall; and the relationship between the height of fall and run-out distance were studied for rock falls,
slides, debris flows and debris avalanches. The data show differences in run-out distance and landslide mobility among different
types of landslides and between debris flows in volcanic and non-volcanic areas. The new Central American data add to and
seem consistent with data published from other regions. Studies combining field observations and empirical relationships with
laboratory studies and numerical simulations will help in the development of more reliable empirical equations for the prediction
of landslide run-out, with applications to hazard zonation and design of optimal risk mitigation measures. 相似文献

Numerous field surveys have provided quantitative information on the characteristics of talus deposits. Much less has been done to quantify the basic dynamics processes of blocks involved in talus evolution. In this work, we perform a set of experiments at the reduced scale of some metres using an inclined board covered with a loose granular medium. The complexity of the processes forming a talus is simplified by studying the interaction of only two kinds of grain sizes at a time. Grains of one class size are dropped from a fixed height onto the board covered by a layer of grains of a different class size, and their final distribution is recorded. We find that when small grains fall on large grains, the granular abundance decreases rapidly as a function of the distance from the fall point, which is explained by the effect of multiple bouncing on the irregular surface. In contrast, large grains falling on a bed of smaller grains lose much more energy at impact. They may stop at once, or roll down slope, often reaching the whole board length; as a consequence, their abundance peaks in the fall zone and at the change of slope. Experiments also show that grains travel longer with increasing fall height and sloping angle. The results clarify in a physical manner one mechanism that might explain why large blocks are typically found in the distal part of a talus slope, while smaller blocks remain near the fall zone. Based on these and previous experiments, a schematic view of talus evolution is discussed. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Submarine landslides and the importance of the initial sediment composition for run-out length and final deposit 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Much remains to understand the dynamic processes during the flow of submarine landslides. A first relevant problem is to explain
the extraordinary mobility of submarine landslides, which has no comparison in subaerial mass movement. Another challenging
question is the apparent disparity between submarine landslides that remain compact for hundreds of kilometres and those that
disintegrate during the flow, finally evolving into turbidity currents. This problem is linked to a central ongoing debate
on the relative importance of turbidity currents versus submarine landslides in reshaping the continental margin. Based on
three epitomic case studies and on laboratory experiments with artificial debris flows of various composition, we suggest
a possible explanation for the disparity between compact and disintegrating landslides, identifying the clay-to-sand ratio
as the key control parameter. 相似文献

Erosion and morphology of a debris flow caused by a glacial lake outburst flood,Western Norway 总被引:5,自引:2,他引:3
This article documents a 240,000-m3 debris flow resulting from a glacial lake outburst flood in Fjærland, Western Norway, May 8, 2004. The event started when a glacial lake breached a moraine ridge. The ensuing debris flow was able to erode material along its path, increasing in volume from about 25,000 to 240,000 m3 before depositing about 3 km from its starting point. Field investigations, pre- and post-flow aerial photographs as well as airborne laser scanning (LIDAR) were used to describe and investigate the flow. The most striking and unusual feature of this case study is the very pronounced erosion and bulking. We have made a detailed study of this aspect. Erosion and entrainment is quantified and the final volume of the debris flow is determined. We also present geometrical and sedimentological features of the final deposit. Based on the Fjærland data, we suggest that a self-sustaining mechanism might partly explain the extreme growth of debris flows traversing soft terrain. 相似文献

The paper presents a numerical method to simulate the dynamics of a cohesive debris flow. The model is based on a molecular
dynamics algorithm where the equation of motion is calculated for an ensemble of interacting particles. In addition to the
hard-core repulsion and to the other forces commonly introduced to simulate granular media, in this work an attractive force
between particles is added as a model for cohesion. The model is computationally straightforward and devoid of a series of
cumbersome problems affecting fluid mechanical codes. Preliminary simulations presented here look promising, and indicate
directions of study for a better comparison and test against field data. 相似文献

Landslides in Valles Marineris (Mars): A possible role of basal lubrication by sub-surface ice 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Fabio Vittorio De Blasio 《Planetary and Space Science》2011,59(13):1384-1392
There is much interest on the occurrence of water and ice in the past history of Mars. Because landslides on Mars are much better conserved than their terrestrial counterparts, a physical examination and morphological analysis can reveal significant details on the depositional environment at the instant of failure. A study of the landslides in Valles Marineris based on their physical aspect is presented and the velocity of the landslides is calculated with a stretching block model. The results show that the landslides were subject to strong basal lubrication that made them travel at high speed and to long distances. We use physical analysis to explore the four alternative possibilities that the natural lubricant of the landslides in Valles Marineris was either ice, deep water, a shallow carpet of water, or evaporites. Examination of the furrows present on the surface of the landslide deposits shows that either sub-surface ice or evaporites were likely present on the floor of Valles Marineris during the mass failures. 相似文献
