Discretization of a Model for the Formation of Longshore Sand Ridges
This paper presents and evaluates the numerical solution of a coupled system of equations that arises in a model for the formation and evolution of three-dimensional longshore sand ridges. The model is based on the interaction between surrcial or internal weakly nonlinear shallow-water waves, having weak spanwise spatial dependence, and the deformable bottom topography. The presentation of the ...
متن کاملLongshore Sediment Transport Rate Measured by Short-term Impoundment
The total longshore sediment transport rate in the surf zone was measured at a temporary groin installed at Indian Rocks Beach, west central Florida. Approximate mass balance between updrift accumulation and downdrift erosion, which served as an indicator of reliability, was obtained in four of the six runs, which were subjected to further analysis. Magnitudes of three of the four transport rat...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Model for the Formation of Longshore Sand Structures on the Continental Shelf
i ii Abstract A model is proposed for the formation and evolution of three-dimensional sedimen-tary structures such as longshore sand ridges on the continental shelf in water deeper than that of the shoaling region. Owing to the striking similarity between the bar spacing and the length scales in which interactions among the most energetic modes of shallow water waves take place, we argue that ...
متن کاملSand transport on Mars
Whether the winds of the present Mars are shaping the variety of dune forms observed on the Martian surface has remained an open question that challenged planetary scientists for decades. In order to elucidate this issue, we have studied sand transport and dune formation from two different points of view. The first approach consists of solving the equations of aeolian transport at the level of ...
متن کاملExperimental Study of Sand Transport
Experiments were made to determine the effects of sediment size, sediment concentration, and flow velocity on the depositional style of sand-sized particles in a highvelocity surgd. A dimdnsional analysis of the experimental system was performed in an effort to relate the experimental results to deposits from turbidity currents and overwash surges. A large part of each deposit was a result of d...
