Abstract

During floods, dunes formed under the condition of a low discharge disappear when the discharge becomes larger than a certain amount, and dunes are re-created with decreasing discharge. On the dune-flat bed transition, it is observed that a critical discharge from dune to flat bed regimes is larger than a discharge from flat bed to dune regimes (hysteresis). The authors have shown that the dune-flat bed transition is characterized by subcritical bifurcation that causes hysteresis with the use of a nonlinear stability analysis. However, the critical Froude number at the dune-flat bed transition predicted in the analysis is much larger than that observed in the field. In this study, we performed a weakly nonlinear analysis incorporated with suspended sediment transport. It is found that the critical Froude number decreases due to the effects of suspended load while the transition is still characterized by subcritical bifurcation.
