Abstract
Mechanism of sand movement due to asymmetric oscillatory flows was investigated through experiments. Measurements of bed forms, suspended sand concentration and net sand transport rate were carried out by using an oscillatory flow tunnel. The process of entrainment and suspension of sand above asymmetric ripples was quantitatively described. The geometry of ripples and the net sand transport rate in regular and irregular flows were expressed in terms of hydraulic parameters characterizing the oscillatory flow. Two-dimensionality of ripples was found to be an important factor in the estimation of the net sand transport rate.
