The Physics of Sand Dune Formation and Migration on Mars
Sand dunes have been observed throughout the surface of the planet Mars. Movement of these dunes has been theorized and inferred from the lack of craters on dunes. Dune movement has not yet been directly imaged, however. Understanding sand movement processes is vital to a correct Martian climate model, as well as the safety of future missions to Mars. Imagery from several Martian orbiters was a...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of sand dune evolution in severe winds
We present a novel approach for numerical simulation of uid ow and sediment transport past evolutionary landforms, with emphasis on sand dunes developing in extreme winds. Time-dependent curvilinear coordinates are employed to fully couple ow aloft with the developing landform. The conservation law that de nes shape of the lower boundary depends on details of local surface stress, thereby favou...
متن کاملComputation of Flow, Turbulence and Bed Evolution with Sand Waves
A vertical two-dimensional morphodynamic model with non-hydrostatic, free surface flow is reported herein. This numerical model can simulate flow and turbulence characteristics over sand waves. Likewise, model can reproduce the sand wave formation and migration process as well as free surface oscillation simultaneously in a moving boundary domain with the implication of a generalized coordinate...
متن کاملNumerical modeling of the wind flow over a transverse dune
Transverse dunes, which form under unidirectional winds and have fixed profile in the direction perpendicular to the wind, occur on all celestial objects of our solar system where dunes have been detected. Here we perform a numerical study of the average turbulent wind flow over a transverse dune by means of computational fluid dynamics simulations. We find that the length of the zone of recirc...
متن کاملNumerical Solution of Steady Free-Surface Navier-Stokes Flow
The usual time integration approach for solving steady viscous free surface flow problems has several drawbacks. We propose instead an efficient iterative method, which relies on a different but equivalent formulation of the free surface flow problem, involving a so-called quasi free-surface condition. Furthermore, we present a method for analyzing the properties of wave solutions of the discre...
