Aerodynamic roughness of rippled beds under active saltation at Earth-to-Mars atmospheric pressures
C. A. Alvarez, M. G. A. Lapôtre, C. Swann +3
As winds blow over sand, grains are mobilized and reorganized into bedforms such as ripples and dunes. In turn, sand transport and bedforms affect the winds themselves. These compl…

Resultant force on grains of a real sand dune: How to measure it?
Renato F. Miotto, Carlos A. Alvarez, Danilo S. Borges +2
Dunes are bedforms found on sandy terrains shaped by fluid flow on Earth, Mars, and other celestial bodies. Despite their prevalence, understanding dune dynamics at the grain scale…
