AI Technical Summary
Traditional landslide surge simulation methods fail to consider the spontaneous evolution of the sliding surface and the actual movement of the landslide body during the process of slope stability to instability, resulting in discrepancies between simulation results and actual conditions.
UAVs were used to acquire terrain data and establish an elevation terrain model. Combined with engineering geological survey data, the evolution process of landslide instability to large deformation and the propagation process of the surge waves it induced were simulated using the material point method and smoothed fluid dynamics. The simulation results were generated using the strain-softened Mohr-Coulomb model and ParaView software.
The simulation results are more realistic, accurately reflecting the evolution of the sliding surface and the propagation of surge waves during the process of landslides going from stability to instability, thus improving the accuracy of landslide surge wave simulation.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of numerical analysis of landslide surges, and in particular relates to a simulation method for the motion process of a potential landslide body and the surges it generates. Background Technology
[0002] The rapid development of hydropower and water conservancy projects has greatly promoted social progress, but it has also brought about some geological and environmental problems. The construction of reservoirs inevitably alters the original natural geological conditions of the reservoir banks, changing the physical and mechanical properties of the soil and rock slopes, thus affecting slope stability. Reservoir water has an infiltration and buoyancy effect on existing unstable geological bodies, landslides, and collapses on the reservoir banks. Furthermore, the operation of large hydropower stations causes water level fluctuations of up to tens of meters, adversely affecting the stability of the reservoir bank slopes. In addition, the potential earthquake threat in areas prone to strong earthquakes further increases the possibility of landslides and instability on the reservoir banks.
[0003] Unlike ordinary landslides, the instability of reservoir bank slopes, in addition to the disasters caused by the landslide itself, can also generate severe secondary disasters, such as triggering extremely destructive surges that can harm residents, houses, and infrastructure within the affected area on both sides of the reservoir. In particular, landslide surges near the dam area may threaten the safety of the dam. Therefore, conducting process simulations of landslide surges for potentially unstable reservoir bank slopes is of significant engineering importance. However, traditional landslide surge simulation methods generally artificially define a sliding surface on the slope, failing to consider the spontaneous evolution of the sliding surface and the actual movement of the landslide body during the slope's transition from stability to instability. This leads to discrepancies between the simulated landslide surges and the actual ones. Summary of the Invention

[0048] Example 1
[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, a simulation method for the movement process of a potential landslide and the surge waves it induces includes the following steps:
[0050] Step S1: Engineering geological investigation to obtain two-dimensional profiles and physical and mechanical parameters of potential landslide bodies;
[0051] Step S2: The UAV obtains digital elevation topographic maps 3 kilometers upstream and downstream of the potential landslide body and generates .stl files;
[0052] Step S3: Establish a computational mechanics model of the potential landslide body and use the material point method to simulate the evolution process from instability to large deformation of the landslide body;
[0053] Step S4: Establish a computational mechanics model of landslide surge in the watershed, and use smoothed fluid dynamics to calculate the propagation process of the surge triggered by the landslide;
[0054] Step S5: Use the ParaView open-source software to generate a simulation result diagram of the landslide surge.
[0055] This invention employs the Mohr-Coulomb model, which considers strain softening, to simulate the process of landslide movement from instability to large deformation. The peak strength of the landslide is obtained using triaxial geotechnical tests on undisturbed soil, and the residual strength is obtained using triaxial geotechnical tests on remolded soil. If undisturbed soil is difficult to obtain, and triaxial geotechnical tests are challenging to conduct to obtain the peak and residual strength of the landslide, it is recommended to use the limit equilibrium method to invert the mechanical parameters of the landslide under the critical state from stability to instability, and consider 80% of these parameters as the residual strength of the landslide after large deformation.
[0056] The strain-softening Moer-Coulomb constitutive relation of this implementation scheme is expressed as follows:
[0057]
[0058]
[0059]
[0060] Where c' represents cohesion, and c′ represents... r It is residual cohesion, c' p It is peak cohesion. It is the internal friction angle. It is the peak internal friction angle. It is the residual internal friction angle. It is a partial plastic strain invariant. It is the partial plastic strain tensor, where λ represents the strain softening rate. The larger the value, the faster the softening.
[0061] The instability to large deformation evolution process of the landslide body was calculated using the material point method, and the velocity and displacement of the landslide body's centroid were derived, which were used as the initial conditions for the next step of swell simulation. Figure 2-3 The velocity and displacement diagrams of the center of mass obtained using this implementation scheme are presented.
[0062] The computational mechanics model of landslide surge is divided into three attribute units. The first is the terrain unit, which is established from the .stl model obtained in step S2; the second is the fluid unit, whose distribution area in the three-dimensional terrain unit can be obtained by directly setting the water level elevation; and the third is the landslide body unit, which should specify its velocity and displacement, which are obtained from step S3.
[0063] This implementation plan uses the open-source post-processing software ParaView to generate the simulation results of the landslide instability to large deformation in step S3. Figure 4The results of the surge propagation in the watershed in step S4 are shown in the figure. Figure 5 ).
[0064] Example 2
[0065] A simulation method for the movement process of a potential landslide and the surge waves it induces, comprising the following steps:
[0066] Step S1: Engineering geological investigation to obtain two-dimensional profiles and physical and mechanical parameters of potential landslide bodies;
[0067] Step S2: The UAV obtains digital elevation topographic maps 3 kilometers upstream and downstream of the potential landslide body and generates .stl files;
[0068] Step S3: Establish a computational mechanics model of the potential landslide body and use the material point method to simulate the evolution process from instability to large deformation of the landslide body;
[0069] Step S4: Establish a computational mechanics model of landslide surge in the watershed, and use smoothed fluid dynamics to calculate the propagation process of the surge triggered by the landslide;
[0070] Step S5: Use the ParaView open-source software to generate a simulation result diagram of the landslide surge.
[0071] To further optimize the scheme, the material point method for the potential landslide body movement process was adopted using the open-source Anura3D platform, and the constitutive model adopted was the Mohr-Coulomb model that considers strain softening.
[0072] Further optimization of the scheme and the smooth hydrodynamic method for inducing swells were achieved using the open-source DualSPHysics platform.
[0073] Further optimization of the scheme resulted in the following material parameters for the slip source region: density, Poisson's ratio, elasticity model, cohesion, and internal friction angle.
[0074] The plan was further optimized by specifying the parameters of the river flow as water density, viscosity, and water level elevation.
[0075] The movement of the landslide body was simulated using the material point method, while the surge process it generated was simulated using the smoothed fluid dynamics method.
[0076] The instability to large deformation evolution process of the landslide body was calculated by the material point method, and the velocity and displacement of the center of mass of the landslide body were derived, which were used as the initial conditions for the next step of simulating the surge process using smooth hydrodynamics.
[0077] The Mohr-Coulomb model, which considers strain softening, was used to simulate the landslide's movement from instability to large deformation. The peak strength of the landslide was obtained using triaxial geotechnical tests on undisturbed soil, and the residual strength was obtained using triaxial geotechnical tests on remolded soil. If undisturbed soil is difficult to obtain, and triaxial geotechnical tests are not feasible to obtain the peak and residual strength of the landslide, it is recommended to use the limit equilibrium method to invert the mechanical parameters of the landslide under the critical state from stability to instability, and consider 80% of these parameters as the residual strength after large deformation of the landslide.
