Stochastic Equation for the Erosion of Inclined Topography
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a stochastic equation to model the erosion of topography with fixed inclination. The inclination causes the erosion to be anisotropic. A zero-order consequence of the anisotropy is the dependence of the prefactor of the surface height-height correlations on direction. The lowest higherorder contribution from the anisotropy is studied by applying the dynamic renormalization group. In this case, assuming an inhomogenous distribution of soil material, we find a one-loop estimate of the roughness exponents. The predicted exponents are in good agreement with new measurements made from seafloor topography. [S0031-9007(98)06072-4]

Impact of gyro-motion and sheath acceleration on the flux distribution on rough surfaces
As was already observed experimentally, the erosion of tungsten (W) coated graphite (C) tiles in ASDEX-Upgrade exhibit regular erosion patterns on the m rough surfaces who’s origin is not fully understood: Surfaces inclined towards the magnetic field direction show strong net W erosion while surfaces facing away from the magnetic field are shadowed from erosion and may even exhibit net W deposi...
متن کاملThe Study of Effect of Vegetation Cover Factor on the Water Erosion Case Study: Razin Basin
One of the important parameters, that reduce negative influence of the other known parameters, is cover vegetation. In this study were estimated cover vegetation influence in soil erosion of Razin basin in Kermanshah province that is our study area. The first step is preparation map of NDVI obtained & category of cover vegetation by the Landsat TM data. Then Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation...
متن کاملGully Erosion Susceptibility Assessment using Multivariate Regression Model (Case Study: Kiasar, Southern Mazandaran Province)
Gully erosion when it comes to positive processes in the most severe operating conditions and the most favorable conditions for the performance of other words is a positive process. One of the most important issues discussed gully erosion monitoring and evaluation of benchmarking is to extract and identify the type of erosion. In this paper the groove factor and drainage ditches, and selected a...
متن کاملErosion and mobility in granular collapse over sloping beds
[1] We describe laboratory experiments of granular material flowing over an inclined plane covered by an erodible bed, designed to mimic erosion processes of natural flows travelling over deposits built up by earlier events. Two controlling parameters are the inclination of the plane and the thickness of the erodible layer. We show that erosion processes can increase the flowmobility (i.e., run...
متن کاملFluvial erosion/transport equation of landscape evolution models revisited
[1] We present a mesoscale erosion/deposition model, which differs from previous landscape evolution models equations by taking explicitly into account a mass balance equation for the streamflow. The geological and hydrological complexity is lumped into two basic fluxes (erosion and deposition) and two averaged parameters (unit width discharge q and stream slope s). The model couples the dynami...
