Barchan dunes cruising dune-size obstacles

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
Abstract We investigate the behavior of subaqueous barchans reaching dune‐size obstacles by carrying out experiments where we varied the obstacle shape and size, the flow strength, and the grains' properties. We found that a subaqueous barchan can pass over or bypass a dune‐size obstacle, or even be blocked, with some intermediate ...

Extending DUNE: The dune-xt modules

open access: yesCoRR, 2016
Abstract: We present our effort to extend and complement the core modules of the Dis- tributed and Unified Numerics Environment DUNE (http://dune-project.org) by a well tested and structured collection of utilities and concepts. We describe key elements of our four modules dune-xt-common, dune-xt-grid, dune-xt-la and dune-xt-functions, which aim add ...

Seasonal Variation of Catenary-Bead Dunes in the Yangtze River Estuary: Causes and Implications

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
Low-angle lee-side slopes of dunes are commonly developed on the world’s riverbeds, and dune migration associated with sediment transport exert a major influence on riverine processes.

Mechanisms of Dune Growth and Decay in Rivers

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2021
The mechanisms responsible for dune growth and decay remain a major unknown in river dynamics. Two theories have been supported by experiments and numerical models. A hydrodynamic explanation suggests that growth and decay occur due to phase lags between

Anthropogenic degradation of dunes within a city: a disappearing feature of the cultural landscape of Toruń (Poland)

open access: yesJournal of Maps, 2021
The article presents changes in the topography of the Toruń area due to the degradation of dunes by human activity, and a reconstruction of their earlier location and morphology.

Dunes on Pluto

open access: yesScience, 2018
Methane ice dunes on Pluto Wind-blown sand or ice dunes are known on Earth, Mars, Venus, Titan, and comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Telfer et al. used images taken by the New Horizons spacecraft to identify dunes in the Sputnik Planitia region on Pluto (see the Perspective by Hayes).

Inferring Airflow Across Martian Dunes From Ripple Patterns and Dynamics

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Large ripples form striking patterns on the slopes of martian sand dunes which can be mapped and tracked using high-resolution optical images. The ripples vary in orientation, wavelength, plan-view morphology, and rates of migration.
