Dune dynamics under unsteady flows (2019)
Thesis
Hu, H. Dune dynamics under unsteady flows. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4221728

River bedforms keep translating and deforming perpetually during their migration. During flow field unsteadiness they also change in size and shape over time and in space. However, our knowledge of how bedforms adapt to changing flows remains inadequ... Read More about Dune dynamics under unsteady flows.
