The cross-sectional shape of tidal sandbanks: modeling and observations

To improve our understanding of tidal sandbank dynamics, we have developed a nonlinear morphodynamic model. A crucial property of the model is that it fully resolves the dynamics on the fast ( tidal) timescale, allowing for asymmetric tidal flow with an M-0, M-2, and M-4 component. This approach, ex...
