Incorporating Non-Equlibrium Ripple Dynamics into Bed Stress Estimates Under Combined Wave and Current Forcing

Incorporating Non-Equlibrium Ripple Dynamics into Bed Stress Estimates Under Combined Wave and Current Forcing

We present direct measurements of seafloor ripple dimensions, near-bed mean flow Reynolds stresses and near-bed turbulent sediment fluxes on a sandy inner shelf subjected to strong wave and tidal current forcing. The measurements of ripple dimensions (height, wavelength) and Reynolds stresses are us...
