Most philosophers still like to feel that they have a special subject matter, well insulated from anything that the social scientists, and scientists in general, have to tell them. That is not healthy for philosophy; and it is all too likely to lead to an ethics that continues, as of old, to plead...

Shallow Geophysical Mass Flows down Arbitrary Topography
Model Equations in Topography-fitted Coordinates, Numerical Simulation and Back-calculations of Disastrous Events
Language: English
Release Date: February 2, 2016
Geophysical mass flows, such as landslides, avalanches or debris flows, are frequent mass movement processes in mountain areas and often cause disastrous damage. This book lays a foundation for formulating the depth-averaged equations describing the shallow geophysical mass flows over non-trivial...
