| Sumario: | Pore water pressure has been recognized as an important factor to enhance the mobility of debris flow moving in channel of very gentle slope. The creation and dissipation of pore water pressure are associated with interaction between grains. This study proposes a physical model for the pressure on mobility of flows with different granular configurations: the flow with overlying coarse-grained layer (i.e., inverse grading) and the flow with fully-mixed grains. The flow velocity is derived by the effective stress principle and the relationship between acceleration and pore water pressure is analyzed under different conditions. The results show that a high excess pore water pressure leads to high velocity of flow, and the pressure increases during the movement; and acceleration increases with time and flow depth under given pore water pressure. Moreover, compared with the flow with mixed grains, the flow with overlying coarse-grained layer is more effective to promote the excess pore water pressure and the liquefaction slip surface. Therefore, the internal drag reduction due to pore water pressure produces an acceleration effect on the flow. |
