▪ Abstract Recent studies of the morphodynamics of the coastal region are reviewed.
Emphasis is given to idealized models that consider a morphological pattern in isolation …

River bars are macroscale sediment patterns, whose main geometrical features (wavelength
and amplitude) depend on the mutual interactions between hydrodynamics and sediment …

Ripples generated by both regular and irregular waves have been experimentally
investigated. In particular, their geometry at the equilibrium (ie height, length and steepness) …

The results of a laboratory experimental program aimed at better understanding the scour
around and burial of heavy cylindrical objects under oscillating flow on a sandy bed are …

In this review paper, the main geometrical characteristics of sea ripples (the smallest
morphological patterns that are observed at the bottom of sea waves) are reviewed together …

The wavelet transform (WT) has been successfully implemented in many fields such as
signal and image processing, communication theory, optics, numerical analysis, and fluid …

The results of an experimental investigation on the adjustment of vortex sand ripples under
shoaling waves to changing of wave conditions are presented in this paper. A large wave …

A pile breakwater is a row of closely-spaced piles, placed in a side-by-side arrangement, to
dissipate wave energy and prevent coastal erosion. It is important to understand the local …

In this paper the evolution of a sandy bottom subject to a wave generated flow has been
analyzed using an image acquisition technique. In particular, ripple formation was observed …

This study tested the hypothesis that the small-scale topography caused by ripples in
sediment would affect benthic macrofaunal assemblages. Ripple marks were measured and …
