The Energy-Line Method in the Mechanics of avalanches
Abstract The energy-line method results from the graphical representation of the energy law as applied in hydraulics. It makes it easier to understand the entire process of the movement of an avalanche from where it breaks away to where it is deposited. The technique, the energy lines, and the avera...

| description | Abstract The energy-line method results from the graphical representation of the energy law as applied in hydraulics. It makes it easier to understand the entire process of the movement of an avalanche from where it breaks away to where it is deposited. The technique, the energy lines, and the average slope of avalanches, as well as the theoretical energy lines of the one-coefficient and two-coefficient models of avalanche dynamics, are described. The method is explained by means of an example. |
