Mud and Debris Flow Modeling

This training package focuses on FLO-2D component to simulate hyper concentrated sediment flows (mud and debris flows). This component is used to model mud and debris flow hazards worldwide including tailings dam failures.

To try a mudflow tutorial request the data from FLO-2D Staff on our Contact Form.
Here is the link to the tutorial steps: Mudflow Tutorial

The presentation is divided into three training sessions and because there are many years of good training videos, the links offer the related videos from around 2017 to present day.

Session I.
  • Physical processes of hyperconcentrated sediment flow;
  • Examples of mud and debris flows;
  • FLO-2D mathematical representation;
  • How to perform a mud and debris simulation.

Download Session I.

Session II.
  • Mud and debris flow simulation guidelines;
  • Selecting hyperconcentrated sediment flow parameters;
  • Potential flood scenarios;
  • Hazard mapping tools.

Download Session II.

Session III includes videos on Sediment Supply and Post Fire Studies. The sediment supply video will be updated by Feb 18, 2022.
  • Sediment supply;
  • Post fire hydrology;
  • Post fire mudflow.

Download Session III.

A 6.0 Hour Training Certificate available upon completion.
