1 INTRODUCTION River beds are seldom composed of sediments of uniform size. Quantifying the size distribution of sediment mixtures is fundamental for understanding and modelling river flows, morphodynamics and sediment transport processes (Bunte & Abt, 2001). For instance, a number of flow resistance equations involve grain size quantiles (e.g., Ferguson, 2007; Hey, 1979; Keulegan, 1938; Rickenmann & Recking, 2011; Smart & Jaeggi, 1983; Strickler, 1923).

Abstract : For the prediction of landslide-generated waves, previous studies have developed numerous empirical equations to express the maximums of wave characteristics as functions of slide parameters upon impact. In this study, we built the temporal relationship between the wave characteristics and slide features. We gave specific insights into impulse waves generated by snow avalanches and mimicked them using a buoyant material called Carbopol whose density is close to that of water.
