Phys. Rev. Lett. 71, 197–200 (1993)Formation of ripple patterns and dunes by wind-blown sandSee Also: Erratum Received 29 September 1992; published in the issue dated 5 July 1993 Simple models for the formation dynamics of two scales of sand features are proposed. In the simulation of the small scale model, a ripple pattern is spontaneously formed by the saltation of sand grains when the wind force exceeds a critical value. With the large scale model, the dynamics of sand dunes is discussed. © 1993 The American Physical Society URL:
