Numerical simulation of wave propagation and snow failure from explosive loading
Rolf Sidler, Stephan Simioni, Jürg Dual +1
Avalanche control by explosion is a widely applied method to minimize the avalanche risk to infrastructure in snow-covered mountain areas. However, the mechanisms involved leading…

A porosity-based Biot model for acoustic waves in snow
Rolf Sidler
Phase velocities and attenuation in snow can not be explained by the widely used elastic or viscoelastic models for acoustic wave propagation. Instead, Biot's model of wave propaga…

Effects of liquid pore water on acoustic wave propagation in snow as a Biot-type porous material
Rolf Sidler
A method to estimate phase velocity and attenuation of acoustic waves in the presence of liquid water in a snowpack is presented. The method is based on Biot's theory of wave propa…
