The risk of tailings dam-break disaster is dependent on the type of slurry and its flow characteristics. The flow characteristics of slurry surging from tailings dams collapse are directly influenced by grain size, breach width, slurry concentration, and surface roughness of the gully. Among these parameters, slurry concentration plays the most critical role, but there are few studies on it. This paper focuses on the flow characteristics of slurry with different concentrations, and a series of flume experiments were carried out to obtain the flow characteristics of inundated height, impact force, and velocity in 30%, 40%, 50%, and 60% concentrations. The study confirms that the concentration of slurry has a significant influence on the flow characteristics. Through the experimental study, it is observed that, with the decreasing of slurry concentration, the impact force and velocity of slurry increased in varying degrees; on the contrary, the flow height elevated with the slurry concentration decreasing. The main reason is that the higher the slurry concentration, the higher the static yield stress and viscosity—in varying degrees. The results can provide a detailed understanding of the slurry concentration influence on the flow characteristics, which guides the evacuation time and height downstream.
Introduction
Tailings are generated from mineral processing operations. The release of tailings to an open environment causes serious safety and environmental issues. The tailings are generally retained in the tailings storage facility (TSF) for reuse purposes. Once the TSF breaks, it causes flooding, which pollutes the environment; moreover, the slurry causes serious loss of life and property downstream.
TSF is a unique industrial structure and also a dangerous source of artificial debris flow with high potential energy (Tang et al., 2012; Detzel, 2016). In recent years, accidents of TSF caused by heavy rainfall or earthquakes have occurred frequently, resulting in loss of lives and property (Moxon, 1999; Jing et al., 2019). Therefore, it is necessary to conduct an in-depth study to improve the prevention and mitigation of TSF disasters. Previous research on tailings dams mainly focuses on environmental pollution, stability analysis, and the mechanical properties of tailings (Nelson, 1977; Finn, 1993; Rico et al., 2008; Yu et al., 2014; Bhuiyan, 2016). Wijewickreme and Lu study the mechanical properties of tailings through indoor geotechnical tests (Wijewickreme et al., 2005; Lu et al., 2019). Proskin analyzes the stability of the tailings dam under a freeze–thaw condition by examining the influence of the freeze–thaw cycle on the permeability of fine tailings (Proskin et al., 2010). Li, Dong, and Yu analyze the stability of the dam body based on the fluid–solid coupling theory and a numerical simulation analysis method (Dong et al., 2011; Li et al., 2012; Yu et al., 2013). They find that the burial depth of the saturation line is too shallow (Figure 1), which is the main reason for the local instability of the dam. Jing (Jing et al., 2019) studies the overtopping failure process of a reinforced tailings dam using a small-scale model test, which finds that the reinforcement layers could improve the anti-erosion capability of the tailings dam. However, these studies are limited to the dam body and do not take into account the flow characteristics of slurry after a dam break. Once a tailings dam breaks, the slurry causes catastrophic damage downstream.
FIGURE 1. Cross-section diagram of tailings dam.
For this reason, Yin, Zhou, Jing, and Wang study the slurry resulting from a dam break with different dam heights and tailings particle sizes (Yin et al., 2010; Jing et al., 2012; Zhou et al., 2013; Wang et al., 2018). They analyze the disaster chain of a dam break according to disaster system theory and describe the evolution process of a dam-break disaster. Jeyapalan (Jeyapalan et al., 2000) and Kwak (Kwak et al., 2005) study the flow characteristics of slurry resulting from a tailings dam break through a series of flume tests and predicted the possible impact range. Jing (Jing et al., 2019) studies the effect of particle size on the flow characteristics of dam-break fluid with laboratory model tests, which observed that the flow height decreased with the particle size increasing, and the impact force and velocity decreased with the particle size decreasing. The flow characteristics of slurry are similar to those of natural debris flows. The particle size of debris flow is widely distributed, ranging from a few millimeters of clay to a few meters of stone as shown in Figure 2A (Bu et al., 2017). However, the particle size of slurry is about 0.1 mm with a uniform material source as shown in Figure 2B. The flow characteristics of slurry and debris flow are similar; therefore, the research results of a natural debris flow can be used as a reference to analyze tailings dam-break fluid. For natural debris flows, Chen et al. (2021), and Jeong (2010) study the impact characteristics of debris flows using different particle sizes, slurry viscosities, and solid-phase ratios with similar model tests (Chen et al., 2021; Jeong, 2010; He et al., 2014). It is believed that the average impact force of fluid increases with the slurry viscosity, solid-phase ratio, and particle size increasing.

The flow characteristics of slurry surging from tailings dams collapse are directly influenced by grain size, breach width, slurry concentration, and surface roughness of the gully. Among these parameters, slurry concentration plays the most critical role, but there are few studies on it. To explore the flow characteristics of slurry with different concentrations, a detailed study is undertaken. The Yangtianqing tailings pond (in Yunnan Province, China) is used for this purpose. The location map of the Yangtianqing tailings pond is shown in Figure 3. A scaled-down version of the pond is developed in the laboratory for the dam-break tests. The tests are carried out for a range of slurry concentrations using an experimental simulation test device for a dam break (SSTDDB). The flow characteristics of slurry with different concentrations resulting from a tailings dam break through a series of flume tests predicted the possible impact range. The results provide a detailed understanding of the slurry concentration influence on the flow characteristic, which guides the evacuation time and height downstream.

Experimental Material
The experimental materials are tailings from the Yangtianqing tailings pond in Yunnan Province, China. We randomly divided the tailings sand into three parts and carried out particle size analysis and triaxial tests. We obtained the particle size distribution of tailings by the Microtrac S3500 tri-laser particle size analyzer (Measurement range: 0.02–2,800 μm, Microtrac Inc., United States) as shown in Figure 2B. Cumulative distribution refers to the proportion smaller than a certain particle size. The physical and mechanical properties of tailings are obtained by a triaxial test as shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1. Physical and mechanical index of tailings.
In China, more than 80% of tailings impoundments are built using the upstream method with a thickening of 20%–30% because it is considered to be more economic (Zheng, 2017). High-density thickened tailings (HDTT) discharge can save a lot of water resources, reduce environmental pollution, and improve the utilization of the reservoir. Therefore, more and more HDTT discharge was considered in recent years. The TSF design considered discharge of tailings at 62% solids of Sierra Gorda Sociedad Contractual Minera (SCM), Chile (Engels et al., 2018). So, the four common types of slurry with mass concentrations of 30%, 40%, 50%, and 60% were used for experimental research. The test conditions are shown in Table 2.
TABLE 2. The test conditions.
Experimental Apparatus
Based on the geometric size of the Yangtianqing tailings pond, an SSTDDB is developed in the ratio of 1:400. The kinematic similarity ratio is 1:20. The experimental apparatus (SSTDDB) consists of a reservoir area, downstream gully, slurry mixing system, gate (simulated dam), measurement device for impact force and velocity, flow monitoring system, and slope adjustment device. The panorama of the experimental apparatus (SSTDDB) is demonstrated in Figure 5A. The impact force–measuring device is composed of the pressure sensor (Type: BX-2, Range: 0–10kPa ± 0.5%F.S, Dandong city electronic instrument factory, Liaoning, China), sensor support plate, dynamic strain gauge, and computer as illustrated in Figure 5B. Figure 6 shows the schematic of the gate device and gate lifting device. The highest sampling frequency of the dynamic strain gauge is 1 kHz, and the sampling frequency is 5 Hz. The pressure sensor is fixed on the sensor support plate, and the height from the bottom of the gully is 2 cm. The pressure sensor and measuring rulers are installed at 2 and 4 m away from the dam. To thoroughly explore the flow characteristics of slurry in the downstream gully, the gully is constructed of transparent toughened glass.
FIGURE 5. Simulation test device for dam-break (SSTDDB).
FIGURE 6. The schematic of the gate device and gate-lifting device.
The internal dimension of the tailings pond is 200 × 60 × 50 cm (length × width × height). The dimension of the gully is 400 × 30 × 40 cm (length × width × height). According to the actual topography of the Yangtianjing tailings dam in China, the slope ratio of the gully is set to be 2%, the floor is roughened with cement, and the bed roughness of the gully is calculated by Manning’s formula (i.e.,
FIGURE 7. Monitoring points distribution, (A) lateral view, (B) top view.
Experimental Procedures
(1) After the slope ratio of the gully is set to be 2%, the pressure sensor, dynamic strain gauge, and computer are connected and the impact force–measuring device is benchmarked so that the data is zero at the start. Moreover, the digital camera is placed in the research section (S1 = 2 m, S2 = 4 m).
(2) Then, the slurry is prepared by the slurry mixing system to concentrations of 30%, 40%, 50%, and 60%. The slurry is conveyed to the tailings pond through the conveying pipeline. At the same time, the slurry in the area is stirred to create a uniform suspension. The initial filling height in the tailings pond is 30 cm as shown in Figure 7. After the slurry surface is stable, the gate is completely opened in 0.5 s by the cylinder to simulate the instantaneous dam break of the tailings pond.
(3) The impact force, flow height, and velocity (using a displacement tracer method) of slurry are collected by pressure sensors, high-resolution cameras, computers, and measuring rulers.
(4) Each concentration test was performed three times, and the average value was taken as the data analysis value. The scale recommended by previous research (Jing, 2011) (flow height, impact force and time, 1:400, 1:557.3, and 1:20, respectively) is used for the flow height, impact force, and the time to reach the peak velocity.
The whole experimental procedure is shown in Figure 8.

Results and Analysis
Analysis of Flow Characteristics
The flow height of the slurry at sections S1 and S2 were recorded by two high-resolution cameras placed S1 = 2 m and S2 = 4 m away from the dam toe. The flow pattern diagram of slurry with different concentrations after 4.0 s at section S1 is shown in Figure 9. It shows that the concentration of slurry has a significant effect on the flow pattern. The slurry is fluctuant at S1 = 2 m and S2 = 4 m; the flow pattern of slurry becomes flattered with the slurry concentration decreasing, which indicates that the flow pattern of slurry is a nonconstant flow. The flow height is monitored by measuring rulers and high-resolution cameras (Sony/HDR-CX680, Camera resolution: 1920 × 1080/50p, Sony (China) Co., Ltd., Beijing, China) in real time. The flow height with different concentrations at sections S1 and S2 is illustrated in Figure 10.
FIGURE 9. Flow pattern of slurry with different concentration at section S1 (2.0 m). (A) 60%, (B) 50%, (C) 40%, (D) 30%. (t = 4.0 s).
FIGURE 10. Flow height of slurry at sections S1 (2.0 m) and S2 (4.0 m) and away from the dam toe). Stage (A) rapid increase; Stage (B) rapid reduction; Stage (C) slow decline.
By analyzing the submerged peak of section S1, it is found that the curve of flow height includes two peaks; the first peak is 11.9, 13, 14, and 14.8 cm, and the second peak is 9.7, 10.8, 12, and 13 cm for slurry concentrations of 30%, 40%, 50%, and 60%, respectively. It also shows a submerged peak increase with a slurry concentration in the S1 and S2 sections. The main reason is the viscosity of slurry increases with increasing concentrations of slurry, which can enhance the friction force between slurry and gully; the flow height increased significantly at the S1 and S2 sections.
When the slurry concentration is 60%, in section S1, the first peak reaches 14.8 cm at 2.1 s, and the second peak reaches 13 cm at 3.3 s. As M. Rico (M Rico., 2008) says, the slurry resulting from dam break forms a lower viscosity “water stream” at the front and a higher viscosity “slurry” at the back. The water stream moves faster because of its low viscosity. Therefore, the first peak is formed by a water stream with lower viscosity, and the second peak is formed by slurry with higher viscosity. The flow of slurry in any section can be divided into three stages: stage (A) rapid increase; stage (B) rapid reduction; stage (C) slow decline. The graph of flow height presents a triangular shape, and the conclusion is consistent with that in reference (Xie, 1992). It can also be observed from Figure 10 that the slurry with higher concentration can take less time to reach the same section. It means the evacuation time downstream can increase.
Variation in an Impact Force of the Slurry
The impact force of the slurry is obtained by pressure sensors at sections S1 and S2, respectively, and is shown in Figure 11 (the coordinate origin is the time when the slurry reaches S1 and S2). As illustrated in Figure 11, there are two peaks in the graph of impact force. In section S1, the graph shows that the first peak reaches 6.5 kPa at 1.0 s, and the second peak reaches 5.7 kPa at 2.1 s when the slurry concentration is 30%. The main reason is that, when the tailings dam collapses, the water stream with a lower concentration is the first to flow, followed by the slurry with a higher concentration. After the slurry reaches S1, the water stream first hits the pressure sensor. Because the concentration of the water stream is lower, its velocity is higher, so it produces the largest impact force peak, and then the first peak is formed. As the water stream flows away, the impact force gradually decreases, the slurry with its higher concentration hits the pressure sensor at this time. Because the sand in the slurry generates additional force on the sensor, the impact force increases, and the second peak is formed. The overall trend of the impact force graph is similar with different slurry concentrations. The impact force graph can be divided into three stages: stage (A), rapid increase; stage (B), rapid reduction; stage (C), slow decline.
FIGURE 11. The impact force of slurry at sections S1 and S2 (2.0 and 4.0 m away from the dam toe). Stage (A) rapid increase stage; Stage (B) rapid reduction stage; Stage (C) slow reduction stage.
As depicted in Figure 11A, the first peak value of impact force produced by slurry with 30%, 40%, 50%, and 60% concentration at sections S1 is 6.5 kPa (equivalent to 3.62 MPa on site), 5.7 kPa (equal to 3.18 MPa on site), 3.9 kPa (equal to 2.17 MPa on site), and 3.3 kPa (equivalent to 1.84 MPa on site), respectively. It shows that the impact force of slurry decreases with the concentration increasing. The main reason is the viscosity of slurry increases with increasing the concentration of slurry, which can decrease the flow velocity. According to the relationship between flow velocity and impact force (Xie, 1992), it is observed that impact force is positively correlated with fluid velocity and also with the size of solid substances carried in the fluid. Therefore, liquid concentration is closely related to the impact force on buildings downstream. Figure 11 demonstrates that all the impact force curves reach the peak value within 2.0 s (equivalent to 40.0 s on site) with a rapid increase in front and a gentle decrease in back. This demonstrates that the growth rate of the impact force is much faster than the decrease rate.
Variation in the Velocity of the Slurry
The displacement tracer points are used to record the velocity of the slurry. The tracker and camera record the velocity at two sections S1 and S2. The front velocities at different monitoring points are explained in Table 3. The flow velocity curves of slurry with different concentrations at sections S1 and S2 are shown in Figure 12. (The coordinate origin is the front time of slurry reaching sections S1 and S2.) It is observed that the front velocities of slurry with 30%, 40%, 50%, and 60% slurry concentrations at section S1 are 3.61, 3.3, 3.0, and 2.77 m/s, respectively. This demonstrates that the velocity of the slurry decreases with the increasing concentration. The higher the concentration, the longer time it takes for the slurry to reach downstream. The time for 60% concentration to reach section S1 is 0.5 s longer than the 30% concentration, which is equivalent to an increase of 10 s at the actual site. It can extend the evacuation time in the event of a dam-break accident.
TABLE 3. Front velocity at different sections for the four different slurry concentrations.
FIGURE 12. Velocity curve of slurry at section S1 and S2 (2.0 and 4.0 m away from the dam toe). The coordinate origin is the initial time of slurry reaching sections S1 and S2. Stage (A) Rapid reduction stage; Stage (B) Stable stage; Stage (C) Slow reduction stage.
Figure 12 also shows that the instantaneous velocity of slurry decreases with increasing the concentration. The reason is that the concentration can increase the viscosity of the slurry, which makes the slurry consume more energy in the flow process. The velocity curve of the slurry resulting from a dam break can be divided into three stages: stage (A) rapid reduction; stage (B) constant; stage (C) slow decline. Stage (A), rapid reduction in the leading section, is the initial stage when the dam break slurry reaches the characteristic sections. When the slurry reaches downstream, the speed at the front of the slurry is higher, and then it decreases rapidly, lasting about 6.0 s. For stage (B), the stable stage (dragon body), the velocity remains at the stable stage relatively. However, the average duration of velocity is distinctive respectively in different sections. In stage (C), slow reduction (dragon tail), as the flow of slurry from upstream decreases gradually and the energy of slurry from the dragon tail decreases slowly, the velocity of slurry decreases steadily until all slurry flows out of the gully.
Discussion
TSF is a unique processing subsystem of a mining and mineral processing facility. The slurry resulting from a dam break is hazardous and may cause serious safety and environmental impact. The slurry concentration determines the viscosity and affects the energy conversion of the slurry in the downstream movement. There are thousands of TSFs in China, and the deposit methods of each tailings pond is different; the concentration of tailing disposal is also different. Therefore, the study of disaster damage from different slurry concentrations is significant. Then, the results can provide a detailed understanding of the flow characteristic by slurry concentration influence, which guides the evacuation time and height downstream.
Through the experimental study, it is observed that, with the decrease of slurry concentration, the impact force and velocity of slurry increase in varying degrees; on the contrary, the flow height is elevated with the slurry concentration decreasing. The main reason is that the higher the slurry concentration, the higher the static yield stress and viscosity are in varying degrees. The reduction of static yield stress and viscosity indicate that the resistance of slurry during movement decreases, and the slurry moves farther. According to the formula ΔH = τ0/γC∙ I (where H is the adhesive thickness, τ0 is the static yield stress of the slurry, γC is the bulk density of the slurry, and I is the longitudinal slope of the groove) (Jing, 2011), it is known that the flow height of the slurry (H) decreases with the decreasing of the static yield stress (τ0). As the static yield stress of the slurry has a nonlinear relationship with the concentration, it can be inferred that the flow height of the slurry varies nonlinearly with the change of concentration, which is also confirmed by the test results.
From the point of energy, before the tailings dam breaks, the slurry has a certain gravitational potential energy. The total energy of the slurry resulting from a dam break is derived from the total gravitational potential energy. The gravitational potential energy of the slurry is gradually transformed into kinetic energy after the dam break. As the concentration decreases, the viscosity of the slurry decreases gradually, making the substances in the slurry loose instead of gathering together, thus reducing the interaction between the materials, so the flow rate of slurry increases with the slurry concentration decreasing. A faster velocity leads to a tremendous conversion rate from potential to kinetic energy after the dam break, making the retained potential energy smaller in the limited space, and a lower flow height is generated downstream. According to research (Wu et al., 1990), the impact force of the flowing sand is proportional to the square of the velocity. Therefore, the impact force of slurry resulting from a dam break increases with the slurry concentration decreasing.
The experimental study finds that, at section S1, the impact range of the 30% concentration slurry was 0–6.5 kPa, whereas that of 60% concentration slurry was 0–3.3 kPa as shown in Figure 11. This shows that the fluctuation of the impact force of the low concentration is more intense. This phenomenon is consistent with Liu’s research on debris flow (Liu et al., 2019). As Liu says, when low-density debris flow interacts with obstacles, the maximum impact force mainly comes from the impact of particles in the fluid and obstacles, which exist throughout the impact process. When high-density debris flow interacts with obstacles, the maximum impact force appears when they just touch the obstacles, and the main contributor of the impact force is the high-viscosity “viscous body” composed of particles and water. Moreover, the fluid with a higher viscosity has a smaller flow velocity (Liu et al., 2019), so the fluctuation of the impact force of the low-concentration slurry is more intense.
After the tailings dam breaks, the slurry causes huge damage downstream; therefore, we can build a diversion channel or other structures downstream and build energy dissipation structures in the diversion channel, thereby reducing the damage degree of fluid (Kim et al., 2018). For example, Chen (Chen et al., 2015) built an energy dissipation structure by digging pits in the channel. The energy dissipation structure can reduce the debris flow velocity to the original 0.43 to 0.63 times. The establishment of a flexible net barrier is also a good energy dissipation measure. After the fluid impacts the flexible net barriers, its energy is greatly reduced. The degree of reduction depends on both the material textures and mesh sizes (Huo et al., 2018; Yuan et al., 2019). Therefore, it is suggested to build a flexible net barrier downstream or dig pits in the diversion channel to reduce the damage degree of dam break.
Conclusion
(1) The curve of flow height and impact force of slurry downstream includes two peaks. The first peak is formed by the front water stream with lower viscosity, and the second peak is formed by slurry with a higher viscosity. At section S1 (2.0 m from dam), the peak heights and impact force are 11.9, 13, 14, 14.8 cm and 6.5, 5.7, 3.9, and 3.3 kPa for slurry concentrations of 30%, 40%, 50%, and 60%, respectively. It is observed that the front velocities of slurry with 30%, 40%, 50%, and 60% concentrations at section S1 are 3.61, 3.3, 3.0, and 2.77 m/s.
(2) The curve of flow height and impact force can be divided into three stages: rapid increase, rapid decline, and slow decline. The velocity curve can also be divided into three stages: rapid decline, stable, and slow decline.
(3) Through the experimental study, it is observed that, with the decreasing of slurry concentration, the impact force and velocity of slurry increased in varying degrees; on the contrary, the flow height elevated with the slurry concentration decreasing. The main reason is that the higher the slurry concentration, the higher the static yield stress and viscosity—in varying degrees.
The results provide a detailed understanding of the slurry concentration influence on the flow characteristics, which guides the evacuation time and height downstream.
