The perfect debris flow? Aggregated results from 28 large-scale experiments

Aggregation of data collected in 28 controlled experiments reveals reproducible debris‐flow behavior that provides a clear target for model tests. In each experiment ∼10 m3 of unsorted, water‐saturated sediment composed mostly of sand and gravel discharged from behind a gate, descended a steep, 95‐m...
