Simulation of Benthic Ripples and Transport Processes for SAX

Abstract

Our primary objective is to simulate the ripple climate on the bed of the inner shelf at depths on the order of 20 m and over domains ranging from centimeters to kilometers in support of the SAX experiments and analyses. Our secondary objective is to use simulation to better understand the physics of ripple formation and sediment transport in this environment. A third objective is to create a powerful and fast parallel numerical code system by the synthesis of a number of our computational tools.
