Completing Moody's friction diagram in the turbulent transitional regime
Rory T. Cerbus, Tom Mullin
The Moody diagram, a plot of friction factor versus flow rate, is a well-known engineering tool for estimating head loss in pipe flows. It comprises well-defined relationships betw…

Air drag controls the runout of small laboratory landslides
Rory T. Cerbus, Ludovic Brivady, Thierry Faug +1
Laboratory granular landslides are smaller-scale, simplified, yet well-controlled versions of larger and often tragic natural landslides. Using systematic experiments and scaling a…

A granular scaling approach to landslide runout
Rory T. Cerbus, Ludovic Brivady, Thierry Faug +1
A main objective in landslide research is to predict how far they will travel. Landslides are complex, and a complete understanding in principle requires accounting for numerous pa…
