Abstract / Description of output
We propose a phenomenological 'two species' model of avalanches and surface flow, and work out some of simple consequences, including the appearance of two characteristic angles (the angle of repose and a 'spinodal' angle). One of the interesting prediction is the propagation of several 'uphill' waves during an avalanche process.
