Simple models for turbulent wave-current bottom boundary layer flow : theoretical formulations and applications
… (2001) flow models. Bottom roughness and ripple geometry models are developed for each model using fixed bed laboratory data and movable bed laboratory and field data. Wave attenuation measurements and current profile data are used in order to investigate the bottom roughness length scale …

Turbulent combined wave-current boundary layer model for application in coastal waters
… it is often the case that either wave-generated ripples cover the bed or the near-bed sediment is transported as sheet flow, in which case the roughness is much larger and less straightforward to characterize. The common method of predicting roughness in the ripple regime, while effective, …

A 2-D Time-Dependent Ripple Prediction Model for Wave Dominated Flows
<p>The development of a new 2-D, time dependent ripple prediction model is presented which allows for the prediction of ripple wavelength, height and orientation. The model is an extension to that developed by Traykovski (2007) and uses an equilibrium ripple sub-module that provides the target …

Hydrodynamic variability and bedform dynamics at an inner shelf artificial reef
… analysis. Focusing within sorted bedforms, ripple bedform geometry was characterized using the Fingerprint Algorithm imagery analysis technique (Skarke and Trembanis, 2011). Using the Fingerprint Algorithm as a baseline, predictive ripple geometric models were compared, tested and applied to …
