Dynamics of Sandwaves under Combined Wave - Current Forcing and Mine Burial Processes, and Instrumentation for Measuring Nearshore Morphologic Change and Hydrodynamic Forcing.

摘要

Our long terms goals are to understand sediment transport processes, the relevant physical forcing processes and the resulting morphologic evolution of river mouths and tidal inlets and shoals. Specific goals include understanding bedform characteristics (ripple to sandwave and sandbar scale) in relation to wave- and current-forced mean and turbulent flow.
