Simulations of binary collisions of barchan dunes: the collision dynamics and its influence on the dune size distribution
Large dune fields can overrun for instance infrastructures lying in the way of their motion. Unidirectional wind fields and low sand availability give rise to single barchan dunes moving in the direction of wind. They can interact by directly exchanging their sand through collisions. This kind of interaction plays a crucial role in the evolution of barchan dune fields, for instance on the selec...
متن کاملTHE CAMEL PROJECT - CHARACTERIZATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF DUNE FIELDS ON MARS BASED ON EARTH. T. Barata1, P.Pina2,
Introduction: Dunes are common features on planetary surfaces where unconsolidated material is present in abundance and responds to an atmosphere capable of producing significant winds. Wind is the most important erosive agent on present-day Mars, and the availability of large amounts of loose sand and dust provides conditions for the existence of dune fields all over the planet. They are the m...
متن کاملThe Influence of Hydrogeology Characteristics on Sand dune movement (Case study: Daranjir playa)
Introduction About 1/4th of the world deserts is covered with Aeolian sand (McKee, 1979; Ghadiry et al., 2012). Sand dunes are considered as one of the most important geomorphic features of such environments the formation of which shows the abundant resources of sand, the sand-moving powerful wind and the suitable conditions for sediment deposit (Tsoar, 2001; Michel et al, 2018). The most sign...
متن کاملAn investigation of subfacies and representative microfacies of the Cretaceous Chishan Group in the Wubao fault zone of Gaoyou sag, Subei basin, China
This study aims to identify favorable oil–gas reservoir facies in the Chishan group of the Wubao fault zone (Gaoyou sag, Subei basin, China) using the methods of outcrops and cores observation, granularity analysis, scanning electron microscope, log data, etc. The results suggest that the Chishan group in the studied area mainly develops desert sedimentary system, and contains five kinds of fac...
متن کاملProcess-based Modeling of Coastal Dune Development
A model that predicts sediment transport due to wind action can be valuable addition to hydrodynamic models to describe the long-term interaction between land and water. This thesis presents the application of an aeolian transport model [Sauermann et al., 2001, Kroy et al., 2002] as a tool for the evolution of coastal nourishments and dunes. The model was originally developed to describe import...
