This paper reviews recent theoretical studies of sand waves which are rhythmic large-scale
bedforms observed in the continental shelf far from the near-shore region. Emphasis is given …

The coastal environment shows a wide range of bed patterns, for which sandwaves and
sandbanks are among the most common. Less known in this context is the high benthic …

We develop a coupled hydro-morphodynamic numerical model for carrying out large-eddy
simulation of stratified, turbulent flow over a mobile sand bed. The method is based on the …

Sand wave morphology and dynamics on continental shelves vary substantially, and we
hypothesize that these spatial variations depend on local bed properties and hydrodynamic …

We present a new 2DV nonlinear process‐based morphodynamic model to investigate the
effects of storms, specifically wind‐driven flow and wind waves, on finite amplitude tidal sand …

Tidal sand waves are rhythmic bed forms found in shallow sandy coastal seas, reaching
heights up to ten meters and migration rates of several meters per year. Because of their …

Tidal sand waves are prominent dynamic bottom features in shallow sandy seas. Up to now,
the processes controlling the formation of these bedforms have only been studied in stability …

The irregular seafloor of the narrow Irish Sea on the NW European Shelf has been
documented over several decades. From recently collected swath bathymetry data, very …

We study the migration of natural sand bars that evolve in the nearshore by means of a new
process-based wave-resolving, 2DH circulation model. In order to perform reliable and …

The aim of this paper is to improve the knowledge of spatio-temporal variability of very large
to giant dunes in deep tide dominated environment. Their growth mechanisms and dynamic …
