Abstract
AbstractThe internal behaviour of debris flows provides fundamental insight into the mechanics responsible for their motion. We provide robust velocity data within a small-scale experimental debris flow, consisting of the instantaneous release of a granular material along a rectangular flume, inclined at $$31^{\circ }$$

. The results show a unique layered transition from a collisional, turbulent front to a non-fluctuating viscous-type flow body, exhibiting strong fluid-particulate coupling. This is the first time that the internal dynamics have been documented within the full architecture of a developing experimental debris flow, from the head to the tail.
