Abstract
The aim of this project is to improve catastrophic snow avalanche zoning by developing new methods where numerical models will complement the classical methods based on expert and historical analysis. The second aim of this project is to improve the knowledge of the interaction between avalanche flow and defense structures. This will be done thank to the laboratory physical scale-models and 3d numerical models experiments.
