dc.descriptionMudflows are natural phenomena starting from landslides and presenting high impact when they occur. They generate great catastrophes in their path because most of the time there is no indication prior to the failure that triggers them. Understanding how mud is transported is of great importance in infrastructure projects that coincide with hillside areas due to the high risk of occurrence of this phenomenon by cause of the high slopes, which can involve great risks and produce disasters that involve great costs. This work presents the evaluation of mudflows, from the implementation of a laboratory scale experiment in a consistometer with its calibration and validation from numerical models to estimate rheological parameters of the material. Tests were also carried out in an open channel in the laboratory, based on the data previously obtained considering the behavior of the material as a both Newtonian fluid and non-Newtonian fluid. The experiment considered a channel with dimensions of 3 m long, 0.5 m high and 0.7 m wide with slope control, and a mud composition of silty material with 60% moisture. The tests were conducted with slopes of 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%. The numerical models were carried out in ANSYS FLUENT software. In addition, the calibration data of the numerical model were used for a real case study, simulating the slip flow occurred in Yangbaodi, in the southeast of China, occurred on September 18, 2002. The results of the numerical models were compared with the experimental results and show that these have a great capacity to reproduce what is observed in the laboratory when the material is considered as a non-Newtonian fluid. The model reproduced in an appropriate way the movement of the flow at laboratory scale, and for the aforementioned case study, some differences in the final length of deposition were noticed, achieving interesting results that lead the use of the calibrated model towards the estimation of risks due to the mudflow occurrence. © The Author(s) 2025.
