Abstract Observations of runout distances combined with velocity measurements suggest that “major” dry-mixed avalanches show a scale invariance to the total drop height HSC. This is in accordance to the proposed upper-limit envelope of the maximum velocity by McClung and Schaerer (2006). The observations are also supported by a simple scaling analysis using a simple mass block model on cycloidal and parabolic tracks (Gauer, 2018b), concluding U max ~ gH SC / 2 . In this supplementary paper, a simple mass block model is presented that includes basic observations of major dry-mixed avalanches, such as mass entrainment and deposition, and that reflects this scale invariance. Almost all model parameters can principally be observed in the field. Model results are compared with a series of avalanche observations of runout and velocity and match well, considering that the model is a first order approximation.

关于雪崩流中缩放行为的考虑：在简单质量块模型中的实现

摘要 对跳动距离的观察与速度测量相结合表明，“主要”干混雪崩显示出对总落差 HSC 的尺度不变性。这与 McClung 和 Schaeer (2006) 提出的最大速度的上限包络相一致。使用摆线和抛物线轨道上的简单质量块模型（Gauer，2018b）进行的简单缩放分析也支持观察结果，得出结论 U max ~ gH SC / 2 。在这篇补充论文中，提出了一个简单的质量块模型，其中包括对主要干混雪崩的基本观察，例如质量夹带和沉积，并反映了这种尺度不变性。基本上可以在现场观察到几乎所有模型参数。模型结果与一系列跳动和速度的雪崩观测结果进行比较，匹配良好，
