摘要：

Rock avalanches are the largest granular flows on Earth. In contrast to artificial, small-scale granular avalanches, they exhibit a large degree of fragmentation with reduction of average grain volume by a factor of up to 10(15)-10(18). Even though fragmentation likely affects the whole dynamics of the rock avalanche, as yet the basic mechanics of the process is poorly known. In this work, a simple model is presented for the fragmentation of rock avalanches, assuming that most of the fragmentation occurs along force chains in the granular medium. The landslide motion is simulated along a curved bumpy profile path. The predicted grain spectra are found to agree reasonably with field data.
