Abstract
In Japan, many debris flows and sediment-laden floods cause serious damage to human life and property. Effective measures require high-accuracy reproduction and prediction of runout distance (bed variation reach) via numerical simulations. One possible method to increase the accuracy of numerical simulation results involves reviewing the methods used to evaluate depositing rate for flows that contain many different sizes of sediments. This study performed experiments using an artificial channel and high-speed cameras to identify parameters that govern depositing rate. The channel implemented exhibited a change in slope point; thus, the slope of the upper reach differed from the slope of the lower reach. The experiments showed that the equation representing depositing rate is closely related to flow velocity. Additionally, the equation of depositing rate can be determined if other parameters are consistently considered.
