Flow deflection over a foredune

PA Hesp, TAG Smyth, P Nielsen, IJ Walker, BO Bauer… - Geomorphology, 2015 - Elsevier
Flow deflection of surface winds is common across coastal foredunes and blowouts. Incident
winds approaching obliquely to the dune toe and crestline tend to be deflected towards a …

Jet flow over foredunes

PA Hesp, TAG Smyth - Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Jet flows, which are localized flows exhibiting a high speed maxima, are relatively common
in nature, and in many devices. They have only been occasionally observed on dunes, and …
