The results on the prediction of (i) the conditions leading to the appearance of periodic sedimentary patterns forced by tidal currents on the sea bottom and (ii) the geometrical characteristics of these bottom forms are summarized. Attention is focused on the results obtained by means of stability analyses, even though a few results obtained by means of numerical simulations are also mentioned.

Abstract

The results on the prediction of (i) the conditions leading to the appearance of periodic sedimentary patterns forced by tidal currents on the sea bottom and (ii) the geometrical characteristics of these bottom forms are summarized. Attention is focused on the results obtained by means of stability analyses, even though a few results obtained by means of numerical simulations are also mentioned. The characteristics of ripples, dunes, sand waves, long bed waves and sand banks are described along with the mechanisms that originate these different sedimentary patterns.
