摘　　要：The seafloor environment is prone to rapid changes caused by landslides,which can result in significant human,financial,and environmental consequences.Previous research efforts have primarily focused on studying rigid submerged landslides using physical experiments and mesh-based numerical simulations.However,there is a need to investigate deformable soil masses due to their inherent complexity.In the current study,a smoothed particle hydrodynamics(SPH)method was developed to examine the behavior of submerged landslides.Three rheological models,namely Bingham,Herschel–Bulkley(H–B),andμ(I),were applied to characterize the properties of the sediment materials.The SPH governing equations were modified at the interface between the water and sediment phases to account for the density discontinuity between them.The viscosity term at this interface was determined using the Owens equation.The effective pressure,a crucial parameter in rheological models,was appropriately modified to reflect the influence of the water column on the sediment particles,utilizing a simple algorithm.For theμ(I)rheology,separate equations were applied to describe the behavior of dry and saturated conditions.Additionally,the Mohr–Coulomb criteria were utilized in the Bingham and H–B models to determine the yield stress.To validate the effectiveness of the proposed modeling approach,a column failure scenario was first simulated.Subsequently,a rigid submerged landslide was investigated to assess the capability and validity of the proposed framework in accurately capturing surge wave generation and calibrating the boundary friction factor.Finally,two deformable submerged landslides involving different materials,namely sand and glass beads,were simulated and compared with previous experimental and numerical studies at different time steps.Through these comprehensive investigations,the current understanding of the complex behavior exhibited by submerged landslides is enhanced,and valuable insight into landslide dynamics is provided.
