Description:
We examine the free surface flow over a fixed bed covered by rigid sinusoidal dunes. The mean current velocity is near the critical value at which the linearized theory predicts unbounded response. By allowing transients we examine the instability of the steady and nonlinear solution of Mei (1969) and the possibility of chaos when the current has a small oscillatory component. © 1994, Cambridge University Press.
