Debris Flow: the phenomenon
Carlo Gregoretti23/5/2017 Mekelle University - Debris Flows
Debris flow is a phenomenon occurring when a
water stream entrains a large quantity of debris
material, so that a solid-liquid current can form
and route downstream
It is halfway between a landslide and a flood
French: Lave torrentielle
German: Murgang or Mure
Italian: Colata detritica

Occurrence of debris flows? Where, how and when
they initiate?
Runoff descending from channels incised on rocky cliffs
entrain debris material laying at their feet, initiating a solid-
liquid wave.
Carlo Gregoretti23/5/2017 Mekelle University - Debris Flows
Runoff descending from the channel incised on cliffs impact
sediments laying at their feet generating a solid-liquid flow
(images of a channel incised on the Mount Cristallo walls).
Carlo Gregoretti23/5/2017 Mekelle University - Debris Flows
Debris flow occurred the 12th of
June 1997 at Acquabona
Two examples of runoff descending along rocky cliffs filmed
at Acquabona (left) and Dimai (right) in the area of Cortina
dAmpezzo that initiated debris flows.

August 2011 at Dimai

On the fan at the base of channels incised on the rocky cliffs, runoff
action dig channel. On the bottom of these channel, debris deposits due to
previous erosive events (rock falls, bank failures, sediment transport) are
entrained by runoff corresponding to high intensity rainfalls

Deposition
Debris flows commonly occur
in channels draining small
steep rock basins located in
the upper part of the slopes
where high intensity, short
duration rainfalls, rapidly
generate high runoff

entrain large debris material

channel, forming a solid-liquid

Carlo Gregoretti23/5/2017 Mekelle University - Debris Flows
In brief, a debris flow results from three different physical
processes
1. Abundant runoff production after high intensity
precipitation
2. Entrainment of debris material laying on the bottom of
channels with formation of a solid-liquid wave
3. Downstream routing of the solid-liquid wave
We need three different models for debris flow simulations:
1. Hydrologic model (Rainfall-Runoff) for rocky headwater
basins
2. Triggering model for determining the solid-liquid
hydrograph
3. Hydraulic model for downstream routing
