Role of Transverse Displacements in the Formation of Subaqueous Barchan Dunes
Role of Transverse Displacements in the Formation of Subaqueous Barchan Dunes
Crescentic shape dunes, known as barchan dunes, are formed by the action of a fluid flow on a granular bed. These bedforms are common in many environments, existing under water or in air, and being formed from grains organized in different initial arrangements. Although they are frequently found in nature …
