Examples

There are two idealized examples to illustrate the capabilites of D-Claw: gully and radial slide. In addition, we provide a list of field-scale application maintained in separate repositories.

Idealized examples

Gully

The gully example is located within dclaw/examples/gully and is an idealized example of a debris flow moving down a confined channel and then out onto an unconfined plane. To run this example, first install D-Claw and then navigate to the gully application directory and execute:

make .exe
make input
make .plots

Radial Slide

The radial slide example is located within dclaw/examples/radial_slide and is an ideallized example of a landslide-tsunami from a radially symmetric island. To run this example, first install D-Claw and then navigate to the radial slide application directory and execute:

make .exe
make input
make .plots

Field-scale examples

Note

This is an incomplete list and will be updated as more examples are disseminated.

Simulations of Barry Arm landslide complex

Barnhart and Collins (2025) provide an example of setting up and running multiple simulations of the Barry Arm landslide complex in support of Barnhart and others (accepted).
