Mixture Theory Model of Vortex Sand Ripple Dynamics
Introduction: Our lack of understanding of the evolution of seabed roughness (e.g., sand ripples) in sandy coastal regions inhibits our ability to accurately forecast waves and currents and ultimately large-scale morphodynamics. Most wave and circulation models input a constant bottom roughness value (i.e., friction factor) or fixed bed profile that parameterizes the effects of seabed roughness...
متن کاملFingering Instability in a Water-Sand Mixture
The temporal evolution of a water-sand interface driven by gravity is experimentally investigated. By means of a Fourier analysis of the evolving interface the growth rates are determined for the different modes appearing in the developing front. To model the observed behavior we apply the idea of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability for two stratified fluids. Carrying out a linear stability analysi...
متن کاملQuantum Representation Theory for Nonlinear Dynamical Automata
Nonlinear dynamical automata (NDAs) are implementations of Turing machines by nonlinear dynamical systems. In order to use them as parsers, the whole string to be processed has to be encoded in the initial conditions of the dynamics. This is, however, rather unnatural for modeling human language processing. I shall outline an extension of NDAs that is able to cope with that problem. The idea is...
متن کاملDistribution of colloid particles onto interfaces in partially saturated sand.
Colloids have long been known to facilitate the transport of contaminants in soils, but few direct observations have been made of transport and retention in unsaturated porous media. Studies have typically been limited to evaluation of column breakthrough curves, resulting in differing and sometimes conflicting proposed retention mechanisms. We carried out pore scale visualization studies of co...
متن کاملElasticity of partially saturated frozen sand (short note)
Seasonal thawing and freezing of near-surface sediments significantly affect the interpretation of seismic reflection surveys and vertical seismic profiling, as well as activity on the surface. Permafrost covers much of the Earth’s colder regions and is also subject to periodic thawing and freezing. The significance of the regions with large seasonal temperature variations for exploration and e...
