Direct validation of dune instability theory

Ping Lü, Clément Narteau, Zhibao Dong +6

Modern dune fields are valuable sources of information for the large-scale analysis of terrestrial and planetary environments and atmospheres, but their study relies on understandi…

Spatial and temporal development of incipient dunes

Cyril Gadal, Clément Narteau, Ryan C. Ewing +4

In zones of loose sand, wind-blown sand dunes emerge due the linear instability of a flat sedimentary bed. This instability has been studied in experiments and numerical models but…

Elongation and stability of a linear dune

O. Rozier, C. Narteau, C. Gadal +2

Compared to barchan dunes, the morphodynamics of linear dunes that elongate on a non-erodible bed is barely investigated by means of laboratory experiments or numerical simulations…

Periodicity in fields of elongating dunes

Cyril Gadal, Clément Narteau, Sylvain Courrech du Pont +2

Dune fields are commonly associated with periodic patterns that are among the most recognizable landscapes on Earth and other planetary bodies. However, in zones of limited sedimen…

Incipient bedforms in a bidirectional wind regime

Cyril Gadal, Clément Narteau, Sylvain Courrech du Pont +2

Most terrestrial sand seas form at `horse' latitudes, where the wind direction exhibits seasonal variation. Here, we extend the two-dimensional linear stability analysis of a flat…

Methane storms as a driver of Titan's dune orientation

Benjamin Charnay, Erika Barth, Scot Rafkin +5

Titan's equatorial regions are covered by eastward propagating linear dunes. This direction is opposite to mean surface winds simulated by Global Climate Models (GCMs), which are o…
