Movement Characteristics of Typhoon Rainstorm-Triggered Debris Flow in Qinglong Gully Based on Massflow Model by XIONG Chaozheng, JI Feng, SHI Yuchuan

“…Typhoon Lekima made landfall on August 10,2019,causing a massive typhoon rainstorm-triggered debris flow in Qinglong Gully located in the middle and low mountainous area of southern Anhui.To deeply explore the movement characteristics of the typhoon rainstorm-triggered debris flow,this study identifies the characteristics,formation conditions,and source distribution of Qinglong Gully.On this basis,it builds a high-precision three-dimensional model of the study area to calculate two working conditions of the non-typhoon rainstorm and typhoon rainstorm.In addition,Massflow,the software for surface-process dynamic numerical analysis,is employed for numerical simulation and comparative analysis of debris-flow movement characteristics.The results show that the typhoon rainstorm-triggered debris flow has a faster forward speed compared with the non-typhoon rainstorm-triggered debris flow.It moves to the monitoring points j1—j5 at 600 s,100 s,1500 s,1 600 s,and 1 900 s,respectively,and the front can cause damage to the channels and buildings along the way in a short time.Three main accumulation areas are formed in the outbreak of the debris flow.The maximum accumulation thickness of the typhoon rainstorm-triggered debris flow is 3.08 m,3.80 m,and 7.75 m,and the accumulation area is 36 324.4 m²,3 700.4 m²,and 32 279.5 m²,respectively.The debris flow has the characteristics of a large height and plane range of influence,which is more likely to cause serious life and property damage to engineering buildings and residents.…”

Modelling of Chain Process of Debris Flow Blocking River and Induced Flood Disaster in Meizoseismal Area ——A Case of Xiazhuang Gully in Wenchuan County by LUO Yuting, WANG Lijuan, MA Song, TANG Yao

“…After the Wenchuan earthquake,there has been a sharp increase in the frequency of debris flow activity,which is featured by low rainfall threshold,frequent occurrence,wide impact and strong destruction.The hazards mainly include siltation,impact,river blocking and inundation.Among them,the mudslide blocking river shows particularly prominent disaster effect,seriously threatening the improvement of mountain infrastructure,and residents' life and property safety.The research of the dynamic process of river blocking disaster chain of debris flow can provide scientific reference for debris flow hazard prevention and early warning.Based on field surveys,physical tests,remote sensing images and rainfall data for a typical watershed,a numerical simulation was conducted to study the dynamic process of the river blocking disaster chain of debris flow in Xiazhuang Gully.The simulation results show that the debris flow reaches the outlet of the basin at t=120 step;and at t=130 step the debris flow pushes forward and blocks part of the main river;at t=140 and 150 step the debris flow completely blocks the main river,forming a debris-dam with a length,width and thickness of 236.0 m,74.0 m,6.2 m and 312.0 m,79.0 m,and 7.1 m,respectively,which causes the upstream water level to rise,with an inundation depth of the upstream residential area of 3-5 m.By comparing the simulation results with the field measured data,the accuracy of the simulation reaches up to 84.9%,which indicates that the model is of good applicability to simulating the disaster chain process of landslide-debris flow-flood.…”

Physics Features of TRU-Fueled VHTRs by Tom G. Lewis, Pavel V. Tsvetkov

“…The current waste management strategy for spent nuclear fuel (SNF) mandated by the US Congress is the disposal of high-level waste (HLW) in a geological repository at Yucca Mountain. Ongoing efforts on closed-fuel cycle options and difficulties in opening and safeguarding such a repository have led to investigations of alternative waste management strategies. …”
