Morphodynamics of Gully Development on the Platform–Slope System of Spoil Dumps under Platform Concentrated Flow

Severe gully erosion on spoil dumps, caused by dense concentrated flow derived from platforms, poses a significant threat to the land management of mining areas. However, little is known about the development processes and mechanisms of gullies on spoil dumps. A flow scouring experiment was conducte...
