Avalanche dynamics by Newton. Reply to comments on avalanche flow models based on the concept of random kinetic energy

The critique by Issler and other (2017) of our avalanche dynamics model maintains that we disregard well-established results of particulate gravity flows. Here we show that the arguments of Issler and others (1) violate Newton's laws of motion in the avalanche core and (2) ignore size-dependent...
