Minimal size of a barchan dune
Eric J. R. Parteli, Orencio Duran, Hans J. Herrmann
Barchans are dunes of high mobility which have a crescent shape and propagate under conditions of unidirectional wind. However, sand dunes only appear above a critical size, which…
Vegetation against dune mobility
Orencio Duran, Hans J. Herrmann
Vegetation is the most common and most reliable stabilizer of loose soil or sand. This ancient technique is for the first time cast into a set of equations of motion describing the…
Transformation of Barchans into parabolic dunes under the influence of vegetation
O. Duran, V. Schatz, H. J. Herrmann +1
Barchan dunes were found to transform into parabolic dunes and vice versa when the amount of vegetation on and around them changes. This work presents the first numerical simulatio…
Breeding and Solitary Wave Behavior of Dunes
O. Duran, V. Schwaemmle, H. Herrmann
Beautiful dune patterns can be found in deserts and along coasts due to the instability of a plain sheet of sand under the action of the wind. Barchan dunes are highly mobile aeoli…
