Debris flow velocity is an important factor which influences the impact forces and runup. Due to the complexity of the phenomenon, it is difficult to define predictive methodologies. The present work reports some results of an experimental run conducted in order to investigate the velocity and sediment concentration distributions. A modified Bagnold’s approach to calculate the vertical distribution of flow velocity is presented.

Abstract A 3D multiphase debris flow model – DebrisInterMixingFoam was studied. An improvement to include the VOF field updating in the iteration of updating the flow field variables was proposed. The improved model was first validated by a debris flow deposition on slope plane case. Then the model was applied to two benchmark debris flow cases and a real debris flow event. In all cases, the model results were favorably compared with the experimental data or field investigation data. As there were only two key parameters to be calibrated in DebrisInterMixingFoam, it was easy to be used to model debris flow. The numerical results showed that this model can achieve good accuracy for debris flow simulation after calibrations of these two key parameters.

The reliability of water flow measurement in irrigational canals depends on the measurement method and design features of the flow-measuring structure and the upstream flow velocity profile. The flow velocity profile is a function of the channel geometry and wall roughness. The article presents the study results of the influence of the upstream flow velocity profile on the discharge measurement accuracy. For this, the physical and numerical modeling of two structures was carried out: a critical depth flume and a hydrometric overfall in a rectangular channel. According to the data of numerical simulation of the critical depth flume with a uniform and parabolic (1/7) velocity profile in the upstream channel, the values of water discharge differ very little from the experimental values in the laboratory model with a similar geometry (δ < 2 %). In contrast to the critical depth flume, a change in the velocity profile only due to an increase in the height of the bottom roughness by 3 mm causes a decrease of the overfall discharge coefficient by 4…5 %. According to the results of the numerical and physical modeling, it was found that an increase of backwater by hydrometric structure reduces the influence of the upstream flow velocity profile and increases the reliability of water flow measurements.
