The shape of barchan dunes [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2005
Barchans are crescent-shaped sand dunes forming in arid regions with unidirectional wind and limited sand supply. We report analytical and numerical results for dune shapes under different environmental conditions as obtained from the so-called 'minimal model' of aeolian sand dunes. The profiles of longitudinal vertical slices (i.e.

Real-Time Kinematic Positioning (RTK) for Monitoring of Barchan Dune Migration in the Sanlongsha Dune Field, the Northern Kumtagh Sand Sea, China

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2023
Dune migration is one of the main processes in arid lands’ geomorphology and is important for the design of windbreaks and sand fixation projects and for the monitoring of desertification dynamics. We conducted long-term continuous positioning monitoring

A Simple Agent‐Based Model That Reproduces All Types of Barchan Interactions

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
We introduce a novel agent‐based model for simulating interactions between migrating barchan dunes. A new two‐flank representation of barchans allows modeling of bedform asymmetries that are intrinsic to collision dynamics but have not been explored ...

Analysis of Barchan morphology in the west of Loot desert using morphometric features [PDF]

open access: yesکاوش‌های جغرافیایی مناطق بیابانی, 2018
In this article, we analyzed the morphology of barchans (crescentic sand dunes) using morphometric features of seven components of this landform in the west of the Loot desert near Pashoeyeh village. The components were height, width, length of the right

Barchan Dunes: Geomorphometric Data

open access: yes, 2021
Purpose of the Dataset These data were gathered as the foundation for a geomorphometric study of barchan dunes. The intent is for the data to be used in bulk (for the law of large numbers) because of randomly distributed measurement ...
