On the size and shape of condensing steam jets and plumes
N. Fourcade, F. Poydenot, P. Langlois +4
Droplet-laden cloud dynamics emerge from coupled phase transitions and turbulent mixing. Combining experiments and mean-field theory, we establish scaling laws for steam-injected c…
Emergence of wind ripples controlled by mechanics of grain-bed impacts
C. W. Lester, A. B. Murray, Orencio Duran +2
Periodic sediment patterns have been observed on Earth in riverbeds and sand and snow deserts, but also in other planetary environments. One of the most ubiquitous patterns, famili…
Hydrodynamic roughness induced by a multiscale topography
Pan Jia, Bruno Andreotti, Philippe Claudin
Turbulent flows above a solid surface are characterised by a hydrodynamic roughness that represents, for the far velocity field, the typical length scale at which momentum mixing o…
Field evidence for the initiation of isolated aeolian sand patches
P. Delorme, J. M. Nield, G. F. S. Wiggs +5
Sand patches are one of the precursors to early-stage protodunes and occur widely in both desert and coastal aeolian environments. Here we show field evidence of a mechanism to exp…
Local Wind Regime Induced by Giant Linear Dunes: Comparison of ERA5-Land Reanalysis with Surface Measurements
Cyril Gadal, Pauline Delorme, Clément Narteau +4
Emergence and growth of sand dunes results from the dynamic interaction between topography, wind flow and sediment transport. While feedbacks between these variables are well studi…
Coexistence of two dune growth mechanisms in a landscape-scale experiment
Ping Lü, Clément Narteau, Zhibao Dong +5
In landscape-scale experiments at the edge of the Gobi desert, we show that various dune types develop simultaneously under natural wind conditions. Using 4 years of high-resolutio…
