title: Three-dimensional debris flow simulation tool debrisInterMixing

description: Here debrisInterMixing until version 7 is provided for download. Further versions as well as installation instructions and tutorials and discussion forums (mostly in german) can be acessed at murgang.org (choose "als Gast anmelden" and then scroll to the bottom). The first OpenFoam-compatible Version 2.3.x are available as supplement to v. Boetticher, A., Turowski, J. M., McArdell,W. B., Rickenmann, D., Hürlimann, M., Scheidl, C., and Kirchner, J. W.: DebrisInterMixing-2.3: A Finite Volume solver for three dimensional debris flow simulations based on two calibration parameters. Part two: model validation with experiments. Geoscientific Model Development, 10, 11: 3963-3978. doi: 10.5194/gmd-10-3963-2017.
DebrisInterMixing is a Volume-of-Fluid based Finite Volume code that accounts for shear-thinning sensitive shares of fine sediment suspension together with pressure-sensitive components of the gravel grains within debris flow mixtures. All model properties can be derived from a material sample except for a grid-sensitive calibration parameter.

 Description: Please install OpenFOAM 7 on a UBUNTU Linux system following the instructions given in readme_debrisintermixing-7.pdf 
After a successful OpenFOAM installation, copy the applications-Folder from putMyContent-.zip into the OpenFOAM-User directory and follow the instructions in readme_debrisintermixing-7.pdf to install debrisInterMixing 7.
 
If you use UBUNTU 24-04 you might have troubles getting openmpi, I attached a modifiesd instruction installtionOF7Ubuntu20.04.5LTS.txt for a workaround.
