Abstract

A new model for the erosion and deposition of particles, developed in Part 1, is now applied to oscillating flows to give an analytic expression for the growth rate. We find that ripples can grow in oscillating flows when they do not in steady flows of the same magnitude, this being due to a suppression in rapidly oscillating flows of the erosion by higher shear rates on the crests.
