Sand ripples in irregular and changing wave conditions: A review of laboratory and field studies

The review is a precursor to a new programme of experiments on ripple regime sediment transport processes to be carried out in the Aberdeen Oscillatory Flow Tunnel (AOFT) as part of the SANDPIT project. The experiments will involve oscillatory flow only. For this reason the review concentrates on ripple regime transport under wave-only...

Sand Waves along the Dutch Coast

Sand waves, defined as longshore wave-like movements of the shoreline, measured in a horizontal plane, are described along several stretches of the shoreline of The Netherlands. They have a celerity in the order of 50-200 m/yr, a period of 50- 150 years and an amplitude of 30- 500 m. They are found along the whole Dutch shoreline. Analysis of...

Sand waves in the North Sea

Summary of research in the British Channel on bedforms with the aim to show if there is an interaction with local sediment transport overthere and the sand balance of the Dutch coast. Focus is on echosounding and observation techniques.

Sand waves in the North Sea

Summary of research in the British Channel on bedforms with the aim to show if there is an interaction with local sediment transport overthere and the sand balance of the Dutch coast. Focus is on echosounding and observation techniques. Theoretical background of the formation of ripples and waves on seabed and riverbed. Comparison of dunes on...
