Observations and Predictions of Bedforms in Tidal Inlets and River Mouths

Abstract

The long term objective of the proposed study is to model and measure bedforms in tidal inlets and river mouths. We use an existing self-organization model to predict multiple scales of bedforms and we will make measurements of bedforms within combined flow environments (May 2012). The model s predictive skill will then be evaluated. This grant was for 1 year only and included funds to begin model development, to interact with the CSDMS group, and to participate in an ONR program review (June 2010). These activities have all been completed and a follow-on ONR grant has been awarded.
