Short summary
This work shows that a multiphase flow solver using a multi-material level-set method with yield-stress models of non-Newtonian viscosity provides a means for numerical approximation of avalanches and subaqueous debris flows. This simulation approach was tested with both time-independent and time-dependent models of viscosity. Moreover, two different approaches were used to evaluate the Coussot parameters. Overall, the numerical results showed reasonable agreement with prior experimental data.
