We present a mathematical model for movement of debris flows, based on kinematic wave theory, and apply our model to published data from two debris flows that occurred in 1981 on Mount St. Helens, Washington, U.S.A. The model, which is based on a relationship originally developed for water flow in open channels, shows good agreement with the field data.
