Avalanche Simulation

In this animation, I show a slab avalanche sliding down a 35° mountain slope. The snow is modeled as blocks that are connected together and pulled downhill by gravity. At first, the snow holds together because of friction and a weak layer in the middle of the snowpack. As more snow builds up and a small trigger is added, the weak layer breaks. This causes the snow slab to break loose and slide downhill quickly. The colors show how fast each block is moving, so it is easy to see when the avalanche speeds up and where the snow finally comes to a stop. Author: C. Soenen This animation was created for the EPS 109 course "Computer simulations with Jupyter notebooks" at the University of California, Berkeley: https://militzer.berkeley.edu/EPS109. It offers a general introduction to computer simulations for all science majors. Participants will use the Jupyter notebooks to perform calculations, design 3D graphics, and build on existing computer programs. No prior programming experience is required. The course teaches fundamental skills for scientists and helps students with future homework. It covers data processing techniques as well standard simulations methods including Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics. The algorithms are illustrated with a variety of applications in earth and planetary science as well as astronomy.
