16 Invitation to Sediment Transportes subject to a free surface flow bounded by a granular medium. Flow of water also occurs very slowly through the interstices of the granular medium: however such a weak filtration process may be safely ignored. The interface between flowing mixture and granular medium can move as a result of a continuous exchange of sediment particles. The .’.

Dunes and Drumlinswind blows sand into a wide variety of different shapes (see Chap. 17 for many illustration of such dunes). Linear dunes, or ‘seifs’, are ridges which form parallel to the prevailing wind direction, while transverse dunes are ridges perpendicular to the wind. A variety of other shapes can occur, amongst them star dunes and barchan dunes.

Granular Material Theories Revisitedluid plays an insignificant role in the transportation of momentum, flows of such materials can be considered as dispersed single-phase flows. In other occasions, when the mass of the interstitial fluid is comparable to that of the solids the interactions between the fluid and solid phases are signi

Direct consequences of the mantle flow include plate tectonics, which refers to the relative motions of the continents, spreading of the sea-floor, creation of new crust and mid-ocean ri

Lava flows have recently been the subject of a review by Griffiths [.] (see also Chap. 6). Our aim here is to illustrate the use of viscoplast

This may lead to a substantial regional change to the topography, with ash flow deposits being tens to hundre
