Which are the best open/free softwares for debris flow and rock fall simulation?
For debris flow, Flow-R and Titan2D I'm sure are very good, both the softwares themselves and the amount of publications.
But for rock falls, it seems the Colorado Rockfall Simulation Program is not ...

Given the well known effects of the inverse turbulence cascade for 2D flow, does it make sense to use grid resolutions that resolve turbulence?
As is well known, 2D simulations of turbulent flows in the ocean follow an inverse energy cascade, as opposed to a forward energy cascade observed in fully 3D flows. Because in 2D fluid filamentation ...
