Sand transport processes over vortex ripples
Vortex ripples strongly influence wave boundary layer structure, near-bed turbulence intensity and sand transport mechanisms
z ≈ 2 η

Lower layer: organised convective processes dominant
Upper layer: turbulent processes dominant

Bedload transport
• Near-bed (mm’s) transport where grain-grain interactions are important
• Net bedload in the onshore direction due to flow asymmetry
• Forcing mechanism for onshore ripple migration (?)

Practical sand transport modelling
• Implemented in larger morphological modelling systems
• Current practical sand transport models– Quasi-steadiness: qs(t) = m |u|n-1 u
– <qs> onshore (> 0) for asymmetric oscillatory flows with larger onshore velocities
– Not valid in vortex ripple regime where net transport is generally offshore (< 0)
background experiments flow sand dynamics transport modelling conclusions
• Phase-lag effects schematically included• Four transport contributions F(θ’c,θ’t,P)
