Seismo-acoustic wave radiated from debris flows motion is one of the main properties used for its monitoring and detection. Understanding the Seismo-acoustic wave using geophone recordings may give us great insight into the physical process of debris flows such as flow velocity and flow rate. To connect the seismo acoustic observation to the debris flows motion, vibration signal recorded from fixed geophones were analysed. In this study, a small-scale granular flow of volume 0.2 m3 consisting of material with average particle diameter 3.34 mm was simulated in a hydraulic flume with cross section of 0.5 m X 0.5 m through granular bed to simulate the debris flow. A series of three-axis geophones were buried along channel bed to record the vibrations produced by granular flows. The discrete Fourier transform was used to decompose vibrations into frequency spectrum and the weighted non-linear least square regression was adopted to isolate the dominant frequency functions and peak frequency. Meanwhile, the physical parameters including front profile, surface velocity, flow depth and discharge were tracked through video recordings and were compared with respect to isolated peak frequency. Assuming the radiated peak frequency in the moving granular flow is within 20-50 Hz and normally distributed, the isolated peak frequency shift in the fixed geophone location was analysed with the tracked flow parameters. Results shows that the peak frequency shift seems to have a non-linear relation with the surface velocity.
