SummaryThe calibration of the dry friction and turbulent friction coefficients is necessary for computer simulation of avalanches. The method of back calculation based on data on actual avalanches is used for this purpose. The article presents the results of the calibration of the Eglit's and RAMMS models for Ile Alatau range conditions. The range is located in Kazakhstan. The data on six avalanches in the same avalanche site were used. Five avalanches were dry, and one avalanche was wet. For wet avalanches of the volume 12,000 m 3 μ = 0.35, ξ = 1500 m / s 2 . The work on the calibration will be continued to obtain the friction coefficients for the Eglit's and RAMMS models. The additional data on real avalanches will be needed for this purpose.Citation: Blagoveshchenskiy V.P., Eglit M.E., Zhdanov V.V., Askarbekov B.B.
