Does not appear to be a real term. The two references are about debris flows but don't appear to use the term "factorization of the mean". A previous version of the article claims the term was introduced in 2012 (after both references were published) by Pudasaini, an author who the article creator was blatantly promoting through their edits. Google hits are all about "Factorization of the mean X" (like "Factorization of the mean activity coefficients"). power~enwiki (π, ν) 22:26, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
