Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Sediment transport in sand‐bedded alluvial channels is strongly conditioned by bedforms, the planimetric morphology of which can be either two‐ or three‐dimensional. Experiments were undertaken to examine the processes that transform the bed configuration from two‐dimensional (2D) dunes to three‐dimensional (3D) dunes. A narrowly graded, 500 μ m size sand was subjected to a 0·15 m deep, non‐varying mean flow ranging from 0·30 to 0·55 m sec −1 in a 1 m wide flume. Changes in the planimetric configuration of the bed were monitored using a high‐resolution video camera that produced a series of 10 sec time‐lapsed digital images. Image analysis was used to define a critical value of the non‐dimensional span (sinuosity) of the bedform crestlines that divides 2D forms from 3D forms. Significant variation in the non‐dimensional span is observed that cannot be linked to properties of the flow or bedforms and thus appears random. Images also reveal that, once 2D bedforms are established, minor, transient excesses or deficiencies of sand are passed from one bedform to another. The bedform field appears capable of absorbing a small number of such defects but, as the number grows with time, the resulting morphological perturbations produce a transition in bed state to 3D forms that continue to evolve, but are pattern‐stable. The 3D pattern is maintained by the constant rearrangement of crestlines through lobe extension and starving downstream bedforms of sediment, which leads to bifurcation. The experiments demonstrate that 2D bedforms are not stable in this calibre sand and call into question the reliability of bedform phase diagrams that use crestline shape as a discriminator.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
