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 …

We describe a simple mathematical model capable of reproducing the main features of sand
wave inception and growth. In particular we focus on the prediction of the migration rates …

The interaction of tidal currents with a cohesionless sea bottom gives rise to the appearance
of periodic morphological patterns (bedforms) characterized by wavelengths that range from …

We present a comprehensive and critical review of work on the numerical modelling of
swash zone processes between 2005 and 2015. A wide range of numerical models has …

A fully three-dimensional model is proposed for the generation of tidal sand waves and sand
banks from small bottom perturbations of a flat seabed subject to tidal currents. The model …

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 …

New high-resolution multibeam echosounder data have been collected in the Irish Sea in
the last decade. Sediment waves oriented transverse to tidal flow dominate many parts of …

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 …

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 …

An artificial sand wave on the Dutch shoreface of the North Sea has been studied in
conditions with relatively strong tidal currents in the range of 0.5 to 1 m/s and sediments in …
