Corridors of barchan dunes: stability and size selection
P. Hersen, K. H. Andersen, H. Elbelrhiti +3
Barchans are crescentic dunes propagating on a solid ground. They form dune fields in the shape of elongated corridors in which the size and spacing between dunes are rather well s…
Selection of dune shapes and velocities. Part 2: A two-dimensional modelling
Bruno Andreotti, Philippe Claudin
We present in this paper a simplification of the dune model proposed by Sauermann et al. which keeps the basic mechanisms but allows analytical and parametric studies. Two kinds of…
Selection of dune shapes and velocities. Part 1: Dynamics of sand, wind and barchans
Bruno Andreotti, Philippe Claudin, Stéphane Douady
Almost fifty years of investigations of barchan dunes morphology and dynamics is reviewed, with emphasis on the physical understanding of these objects. The characteristics measure…
