Grain segregation mechanism in aeolian sand ripples
Many sedimentary rocks are formed by migration of sand ripples. Thin layers of coarse and fine sand are present in these rocks, and understanding how layers in sandstone are created has been a longstanding question. Here, we propose a mechanism for the origin of the most common layered sedimentary structures such as inverse graded climbing ripple lamination and cross-stratification patterns. Th...
متن کاملA Simple Algorithm to Relate Measured Surface Roughness to Equivalent Sand-grain Roughness
One of the most important resources available in the field of fluid mechanics, the Moody Chart gives Darcy friction factor as a function of Reynolds number and relative roughness. The experimentalists who generated the data correlated in the Moody Chart, however, roughened pipe surfaces by coating their internal surfaces with a monolayer of sand, the pipe wall roughness being defined as the ave...
متن کاملPatterns in hydraulic binary size sand grain ripples
An experimental study of a sand bed submitted to a transient water shear flow in a vertical axis cylindrical container is reported. The appearance of spontaneous phase segregation in the spiral ripple patterns is shown. Larger grains are observed to segregate on the downstream part of the ripples, while the smaller ones segregate on the upstream part. The relative repose angles between sand spe...
متن کاملDynamics of aeolian sand ripples
We analyze theoretically the dynamics of aeolian sand ripples. In order to put the study in the context we first review existing models. This paper is a continuation of two previous papers[3, 4], the first one is based on symmetries and the second on a hydrodynamical model. We show how the hydrodynamical model may be modified to recover the missing terms that are dictated by symmetries. The sym...
متن کاملAeolian sand ripples around plants.
Plants in the desert may locally change the aeolian process, and hence the pattern of sand ripples traveling nearby. The effect of plants on ripples is investigated using a coupled map lattice model with nonuniform coupling coefficients.
