This invention belongs to the field of geological
engineering and
natural disaster simulation technology, and relates to an experimental device and method for simulating the disaster chain from a high-altitude, long-distance
landslide in a cold region to a flood. The device includes a support mechanism, an acceleration mechanism, a loading vehicle, a motion mechanism, a freezing mechanism, a water tank, a water spraying mechanism, and a monitoring mechanism. The freezing and water spraying mechanisms simulate the low temperature and rainfall environment of a cold region; the acceleration mechanism drives the loading vehicle to simulate the
initiation of a high-altitude
landslide; the
landslide mass scrapes and encases moist frozen soil samples in the motion mechanism, evolving into a
debris flow under continuous water spraying; the
debris flow rushes into the water tank and accumulates to form a simulated
landslide dam, simulating the process of blocking a river; subsequently, under the action of upstream water, the dam collapses, triggering a simulated downstream flood. This invention can simulate and monitor the entire disaster chain of a high-altitude, long-distance landslide in a cold region –
debris flow – river blockage – flood, providing an effective physical
simulation technology for disaster
risk assessment and prevention.
