Sand ripples have been the subject of many studies. Numerous empirical formulas exist to describe their dimensions. In this paper, ripple height and length are studied at equilibrium state in a current flume. The impact of the grain size and grain shape are analysed. This work is the first stage to estimate ripple characteristics induced by a current, under simple configurations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
