Illgraben 26.07.2019 - Debris flow, Lave torrentielle, Murgang. Part 1

[@honeyd8436]

You hang in there, little rock, you hang in there! You’re perfect just the way you are, never change! You tell those big bad boulders to just move along - you don’t need that kind of pressure. You stand your ground!

Ok I've seen several dozen of these from this channel now (not in chronological order) .... this is the best vantage point imo. Obviously there are interesting things to watch from the other vantage points you've filmed from, but to me this is the most interesting. I love watching the mud flows but this also shows where it drains into the nearest river/stream. I wish this vantage point was more common in your videos

[@roberthughes9856]

Hail to Gibraltar! Makes me wonder what the discharge rate was that deposited the rock on the edge in the first place considering this outflow failed to push it about a foot further.

[@MendTheWorld]

Ok…. Here’s what I think. Although it looks smaller than some of the boulders that are swept past it, we are seeing only the upper part. The lower part is wedged against the concrete abutment. Likely the flowing water has eroded the smaller debris from underneath it, allowing it to settle further down. Also, it sits off at the edge of the channel, where the fluid velocity is a bit less, and most of the larger entrained boulders pass by to the left. Sorry to be so analytical. 🤓🙄. Or maybe it’s just a brave little boulder standing its ground! 😃

[@gibbogle]

Great filming! It's interesting how the flow comes in waves, presumably corresponding to fluctuations in the precipitation rate.

[@MendTheWorld]

Likely the surges are caused by temporary damming of the flow by an accumulation of boulders, buildup of pressure behind the dam, then sudden failure and release.

[@gibbogle]

@@MendTheWorld Yes, I found a scientific publication that goes into this process in detail. I was wrong to suggest changes in rainfall as the cause.

Why is the stream from up there comes in waves, sometimes almost dry and sometimes strong? What causes this periodicity?

[@Woody615]

Hydrodynamics. Conservation of energy as the water flows down hill. Look up "Oroville Dam spillway get wet after a two-year hiatus". Perfect example of the flow.

[@rodulfohernandez2618]

Excelente video ..tremenda avalancha...mucho miedo.

[@boxwoodgreen]

I'm interested in a reason for the pulses in volume of the mud flows.

[@gibbogle]

It is interesting. My first thought was that the pulses are caused by rainfall fluctuations, but now I recall watching a similar quasi-periodic variation in flow in a tiny creek (about 2 - 5 cm deep) running across the beach to the sea. In that case there was no variation in the upstream boundary condition, so the waves were somehow created by the flow. The beach flow was somehow a scaled version of this debris flow.

[@andrewsercer9538]

I believe in this instance the waves are largely due to the density of the flow. Because of the high density, small fluctuations of the boulders in the flow may cause them to form a temporary bottleneck in the flow which lasts until the pressure is great enough to break. So, density and debris (boulders mostly, but you can also see dead trees in the beginning of each flow)

[@greutera]

Amazing how those boulders move like plastic with the force of the water

[@MendTheWorld]

It’s not just water. The ratio of sediment to water in a debris flow is close to 50/50, which gives the fluid mixture much higher bulk density than just water alone. Thus, some of those huge boulders almost look like they are “floating”, being partially buoyant, supported by the slurry mixture.
