Simulation of Avalance-Threating Snow Mass Movement

Results of analysis and generalization of the possibilities in the known ways of simulation the movement of avalanche-threatening snow mass are presented in the work. 3D-model based on the dynamics of the particles was shown to provide a high degree of precision in the spatial and time discretization. In its turn, this ensures calculations of the movement trajectory, energy and avalanche pressure. Thus, the bulk discrete model of snow mass makes it possible to get an adequate assessment of the avalanche destructive effect.
