Sentence examples for sand wave from inspiring English sources

The sand wave migration model is based on physical principles and tuned with field data through data assimilation techniques.

It is found that long-term sand wave migration trend is primarily controlled by both tidal constituents and residual velocity.

This method comprises a newly developed sand wave amplitude and migration model, and an existing pipeline seabed interaction model.

The self-lowering of the pipeline, in response to exposures due to sand wave migration, can be predicted, both effectively and efficiently.

Taking the ocean environment characteristics of the surrounding sea area into account and with sufficient grid resolution, this model successfully depicts the process of sand wave bilateral reverse migration.

When the magnitude of the residual velocity is large enough, i.e., in the western part of the sand wave area, sand waves migrate northwards; when the residual velocity is small, i.e., in the eastern part, sand waves migrate southwards and the bilateral reverse migration pattern is formed.

Currents also influence the distribution of geomorphic features such as sand waves and coral reefs.

As it raced through the canyon at 15,000 cubic feet a second, sizable sand waves formed long rapids.

Under nonlinear pure tidal impact, the sand waves migrate southwards; the residual current is northwards and will cancel the tidal impact.
