Debris flows are one of the major negative factors affecting the ecological balance of the environment, and various types of measures are used for their regulation. The fluctuations in the transportability and energy characteristics of such anomalies are of such a scale that the ability to mitigate their impact does not align with the potential for maintaining a stable landscape infrastructure environment.
The aim of debris flow regulation in this study is to assess their dynamic impact on structures, evaluate the energy of critical equilibrium, and develop innovative models.
Based on the purpose of regulation, the operational means of both energy and transportability characteristics do not fully meet the high criteria for assessing their impact. Equally relevant is the accuracy of describing the obtained results—such as the flow’s adherence to structures, elastic reception, and circumfluence capabilities—using operational means, as well as the complexity of developing innovative solutions. Consequently, refining existing methods of limit equilibrium, wave motion, and impact impulses to assess debris flow energetics and develop innovative flow behavior models through operational means is crucial. Additionally, evaluating the deformation characteristics caused by interactions with opposing obstacles plays a significant role in addressing the challenges of regulating natural anomalies.
