摘要
Recent experiments show that an avalanche initiated from a point source propagates downwards by invading a triangular shaped region. The opening angle of this triangle appears to reach 180° for a critical inclination of the pile, beyond which avalanches also propagate upwards. We propose a simple interpretation of these observations, based on an extension of a phenomenological model for surface flows.
