'viel' and 'haufenweise' both express a large amount. 'viel' is neutral and very general. It fits things that are not counted, actions, and also an indefinite amount. 'haufenweise' is stronger and sounds more colloquial. You use it when something is present in a very large quantity, often more than expected or more than is pleasant. Learners may confuse the words because both mean 'a large amount'. In normal or factual sentences, 'viel' is safer; 'haufenweise' emphasizes the amount more strongly and sounds more vivid.
