We present a continuous model capable of demonstrating some salient features of aeolian sand ripples: the realistic asymmetric ripple shape, coarsening of the ripple field at the nonlinear stage of ripple growth, saturation of ripple growth for homogeneous sand, typical size segregation of sand, and formation of armoring layers of coarse particles on ripple crests and windward slopes if the sand is inhomogeneous.
我们提出了一个连续模型,该模型能够展示风成沙波纹的一些显著特征:逼真的不对称波纹形状、波纹生长非线性阶段波纹场的粗化、均匀沙的波纹生长饱和、典型的沙粒尺寸分选,以及如果沙子不均匀,在波纹顶部和迎风坡上形成粗颗粒的装甲层。
