Understanding snow bedform formation by adding sintering to a cellular automata model

Varun Sharma, Michael Lehning, Louise Braud

Cellular-automata-based modelling for simulating snow bedforms and snow deposition is introduced in this study. The well-known ReSCAL model, previously used for sand bedforms, is adapted for this purpose by implementing a simple sintering mechanism. The ef ...

Mathematical modelling for the evolution of aeolian dunes formed by a mixture of sands: entrainment-deposition formulation

Fabio Nobile, Luca Formaggia

In this work we present a mathematical model of the evolution of aeolian sand dunes, in particular we consider the case of dunes formed by a mixture of sands with different characteristics. We first recall a basic model for the evolution of two dimensional ...

The effect of migrating dune forms on the flow field of an alluviral river

Koen Blanckaert

The bed of an alluvial river is highly susceptible to changes during the course of its existence. Besides variations of the large scale topography and plan form of the river, smaller scale dune forms can be observed. These recurring dune forms migrate on t ...

Effect of raindrop splash and transversal width on soil erosion: Laboratory flume experiments and analysis with the Hairsine-Rose model

David Andrew Barry, Alessandro Brovelli, Seifeddine Jomaa

The parameter consistency of the one-dimensional Hairsine-Rose (H-R) erosion model under conditions of significant rainfall splash was examined. To account for the splash characteristic length scale and its interaction with the transverse erosion width, ex ...

Export of Pollution from Europe: Seasonal and Interannual Variation

Isabelle Bey

Pollution can undergo long-range transport and impact the tropospheric chemistry thousands of kilometers downwind from the source region. Recently, there is interest in the intercontinental transport (ICT) of pollution between the main industrial regions o ...
