Collision dynamics of two barchan dunes simulated by a simple model
TL;DR: In this paper, the collision processes of two crescentic dunes called barchans are systematically studied using a simple computer simulation model, and the simulated processes, coalescence, ejection and reorganization, qualitatively correspond to those observed in a water tank experiment.

Formative conditions and sedimentary structures of sandy 3D antidunes: an application of the gravel step-pool model to fine-grained sand in an experimental flume.
TL;DR: In this article, the 3D mound-like antidune configurations and their associated internal sedimentary structures were preserved by shallow lens-like structures whose bases were erosional, and the dimensions of lenticular lamina-sets can be used to estimate antidune geometry.

Emergence of a Barchan Belt in a Unidirectional Flow: Experiment and Numerical Simulation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors observed the time evolution of dune fields in a water tank experiment and simulated it by using a simple model without taking complex fluid dynamics into account, showing that the initial sand bed changed its form to transverse ripples, that is, dunes with straight crest lines perpendicular to the flow direction.

Deformed barchans under alternating flows: Flume experiments and comparison with barchan dunes within Proctor Crater, Mars
Keisuke Taniguchi,Noritaka Endo +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the deformation of crescentic-shaped dunes was investigated under alternating water flow, and new deformation features in addition to rear slipfaces were observed. But the results were in agreement with those of Fenton et al. [Fenton, L.K., Toigo, A.D., Richardson, M.I., 2005.

Mobility and Location of Drainage Divides Affected by Tilting Uplift in Sado Island, Japan
Akimasa Sakashita,Noritaka Endo +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors conducted a digital elevation model (DEM) based investigation that focused on divide migration in Sado island, Japan, and concluded that some divides slowed down owing to the local balance of erosion rates across the divides, which does not imply balance between uplift and river erosion at the basin scale, reflecting disequilibrium in river longitudinal profiles.
