Little Tahoma Peak, 1963 avalanche
•several avalanches, total of 107 m3 of broken lava blocks and other debris
•6.8 km horizontal and 1.8 km vertical run
•estimate pile run-up on terminal moraine gives reasonable comparison with mapped flow; we miss the run-up on Goat Island Mt.

2-Fluid Approach
•Decide constitutive relations for solid and fluid stresses (frictional solids, Newtonian fluid)•Phenomenological volume-fraction dependent function in drag
•Depth average – introduceserrors that we will examine (and live with)

Scales
Characteristic length scales (mm to km)
e.g for Mount St. Helens (mudflow –1985) Runout distance 31,000 mDescent height 2,150 mFlow length(L) 100-2,000Flow thickness(H) 1-10 mMean diameter of sediment material 10-3-10 m
Scale: ε═H/L – several terms small and are dropped

Comments on model•Continuum model
In situ, there is a distribution of particle sizes. Models are operating at the edge where the discreteness of solids particles cannot be ignored
•Depth averaged velocity
Are recirculation and basal slip velocity important?
•There is no simple scaling arguments from tabletop experiments to real debris avalanches (No Re, Ba, Sa)
