Seepage effects on dune geometry and turbulence flow characteristics
This study explores how seepage affects the angle of repose of cohesionless sediments, geometrical dimension of dunes, and turbulence characteristics of flows over a stationary two-dimensional dune. Experiments were conducted to achieve the stated objectives except that a theoretical analysis was a...

| Summary: | This study explores how seepage affects the angle of repose of cohesionless sediments, geometrical dimension of dunes, and turbulence characteristics of flows over a stationary two-dimensional dune. Experiments were conducted to achieve the stated objectives except that a theoretical analysis was also carried out to examine seepage effects on the angle of repose of the sediment. |
