Abstract: In this contribution, we apply the recently published open-source model faSavageHutterFOAM 1.0 to back-calculating a documented avalanche event. faSavageHutterFOAM 1.0 is a simulation tool for dense snow avalanches, which is based on a depth-integrated model and implemented in the open-source framework OpenFOAM R. In this study, we focus on (i) pre- and post-processing input data and model results with complementary open-source tools and (ii) reconstructing a well-documented avalanche event using the presented modeling approach. We aim to demonstrate the practical applicability of a modeling work flow, which solely utilizes openly available software tools and want to encourage future extensions of the presented framework.
