Sebastien Dartevelle's Ph.D.


	The ultimate website for understanding granular flows

Webmaster's Ph.D. Thesis

[Pyroclastic flows and surges generated by column collapse. Time and location unknown.]

As requested by many visitors, I made here available my Ph.D. and other publications around it. I would really love to hear from you. If you have the least comments, inputs, question just feel free to email me at sebastien@granular.org. Thanks.
