We present a theoretical and experimental study of unloaded free surface mudflow in gradually varied conditions. First of all, a polymer gel following the same rheological law as the natural mud was identified, and its severe rheometric characterization was performed. Then the flow of this synthetic mud was generated in a 1-D open channel. The velocity and depth profiles were then systematically investigated. The theoretical study consisted in determining the velocity profiles in terms of the rheological parameters in uniform conditions as well as in determining the form parameter characterizing the gradually varied flow of yield stress fluids in open channels.
