Mechanisms of Dune Growth and Decay in Rivers
Abstract 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 bed topography and sediment flux. Al...
