Simulation results for the two rock avalanche phases of the Bingham Canyon slide (a). Simulation results for the first rock avalanche when the flexible block model is not used (b); here a large amount of material spills out to the north of the source zone, which is inaccurate. The red outline shows the source zone, the light blue outline shows the final deposit extent and the dark blue line shows the observed impact area. The minimum deposit depth value was specified as 1 m (a minimum deposit depth is necessary due to the solution method used by Dan3D)
