Journal of Maps, 2021 The hyper-arid Taflilat Basin, South-East Morocco, is dominated by two ephemeral fluvial networks and several ergs with various dune forms from barchans to mega dunes. Especially the genesis of the star dunes remains an open research question. Therefore,

Acta Universitatis Carolinae Geographica, 2022 Morphology of barchan dunes plays a key role in the rate of movement of barchan dunes and accordingly, the areas that are in the path of barchan dunes can be identified.

The shape of barchan dunes [PDF]
Journal 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.

Morphologic characteristics of aeolian deposits and erosive winds in Sistan plain [PDF]
مدیریت بیابان, 2018 Shifting aeolian dunes damage to infrastructure in Sistan plain. Accordingly, distribution, morphology and fixed and unfixed status of sand dunes in erosive corridors were surveyed by using satellite images and field investigation.

A Thorough Review of Sand Dunes in Iran and Their Relationship to Certain Climatic Features [PDF]
مدیریت بیابان, 2023 IntroductionSand covers around 20% of the world's drylands, and 97% of it is found in the sandy land of the arid region of the earth. Different landforms are created by the wind in these regions. Sand dunes are a landform that is mentioned in arid lands.

Size distribution and structure of Barchan dune fields [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2011 Barchans are isolated mobile dunes often organized in large dune fields. Dune fields seem to present a characteristic dune size and spacing, which suggests a cooperative behavior based on dune interaction. In Duran et al.

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017 We show that the orientation and morphology of bedforms occurring on top of Pluto’s smooth ice coats are consistent with an aeolian origin under conditions of unidirectional flow. From scaling relations for dune size as a function of attributes of atmosphere and sediments, we find that the average diameter of the granular particles constituting such ...
