Abstract In this study, to investigate an energy reduction effect by field application of cylindrical baffle arrays, the 3D Debris flow numerical analysis was conducted with various baffle configurations for the simulation of a real-scale valley, where the cylindrical baffle arrays were installed. For this, the valley of the watershed was modeled using terrestrial LiDAR data from the real-scale experiment site. Numerical analysis simulated the flow behavior of debris flow and the structures using Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) technique of ABAQUS (Ver. 2021). The numerical analysis results that the case without cylindrical baffle arrays had a similar velocity change to that of the real-scale experiment. Also, the installation of baffles significantly reduced the frontal velocity of debris flow. Furthermore, increasing the baffle height increased the downstream energy reduction because of the higher flow impedance of taller baffles.
