Ripple Morphology under Oscillatory Flow
Our ultimate long-term goal is to further the understanding of bed morphology and sediment dynamics under oscillatory flows. Experiments will be conducted to expand existing data sets of sand bed morphology and evolution in large scale laboratory facilities under controlled flow conditions. Based on this additional insight from the improved data set we aim to advance presently available tools f...

متن کاملRipple Morphodynamics in Oscillatory Flows
The long-term goal of our research is to improve our understanding of ripple morphodynamics in wave-current, boundary-layer flows. Our main focus is on the study of sediment transport in oscillatory boundary layers in the presence of unidirectional currents and the associated bed morphology (i.e. 2D and 3D ripples). We hope to improve currently available bed state prediction tools. To this end,...
متن کاملEquivalent roughness height for plane bed under oscillatory flow
A new relationship between the roughness height and the main hydrodynamic and sediment parameters for plane beds under oscillatory conditions is presented. In order to derive such a relationship, a large data base encompassing plane-bed experiments was compiled from previous investigations and analyzed. Different methods to estimate the roughness height were investigated. Comparisons between th...
متن کاملOrientational transition in nematic liquid crystals under oscillatory Poiseuille flow
We investigate the orientational behaviour of a homeotropically aligned nematic liquid crystal subjected to an oscillatory plane Poiseuille flow produced by an alternating pressure gradient. For small pressure amplitudes the director oscillates within the flow plane around the initial homeotropic position, whereas for higher amplitudes a spatially homogeneous transition to out-of-plane director...
