Preliminary Experimental Study of Landslide Generated Waves in the Reservoir

Article Preview

Abstract:

Landslide generated waves in the reservoir were investigated in a three-dimension physical model based on the generalized Froude similarity. The tests included the following several influence factors: still water depth, still water width, landslide volume, landslide fall, slide angle. The waves generated process, as a complex solid-air-water phenomena, is composed of landslide entering water, the first wave generation, air-spray group forming, the second wave generation, wave run-up, wave propagation. Empirical equations base on most of experiments of the first maximum wave amplitude, the second maximum wave amplitude, the maximum wave run-up are described by multiple regressions of following dimensionless quantities: the relative slide Froude number, the relative landslide volume, the relative still water wide.
