Minimal model for aeolian sand dunes

K Kroy, G Sauermann, HJ Herrmann - Physical Review E, 2002 - APS
We present a minimal model for the formation and migration of aeolian sand dunes in
unidirectional winds. It combines a perturbative description of the turbulent wind velocity …

The influence of topography on meteorogical variables and surface-atmosphere interactions

MR Raupach, JJ Finnigan - Journal of Hydrology, 1997 - Elsevier
Topography perturbs practically every process and variable relevant to land-atmosphere
interactions, including radiation, air temperature and saturation deficit, wind and turbulence …

Wind velocity and sand transport on a barchan dune

G Sauermann, JS Andrade Jr, LP Maia, UMS Costa… - Geomorphology, 2003 - Elsevier
We present measurements of wind velocity and sand flux performed on the windward side of
a large barchan dune in Jericoacoara, northeastern Brazil. From the measured profile, we …

Turbulent boundary-layer flow over fixed aerodynamically rough two-dimensional sinusoidal waves

W Gong, PA Taylor, A Dörnbrack - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 1996 - cambridge.org
Results from a wind tunnel study of aerodynamically rough turbulent boundary-layer flow
over a sinusoidal surface are presented. The waves had a maximum slope (ak) of 0.5 and …

Mesoscale processes and severe convective weather

RH Johnson, BE Mapes - Severe convective storms, 2001 - Springer
Severe convective weather events—tornadoes, hailstorms, high winds, flash floods—are
inherently mesoscale phenomena. While the large-scale flow establishes environmental …

Experimental determination of fragment excitation energies in multifragmentation events

N Marie, A Chbihi, JB Natowitz, A Le Fèvre, S Salou… - Physical Review C, 1998 - APS
Abstract For 50 MeV/nucleon 129 Xe+ nat Sn multifragmentation events, we deduced, by
means of correlation techniques, the multiplicities of the hydrogen and helium isotopes …
