StCMl STRESS SCALE<br />

Figure 20. Johns et al (1990). Computed and experimentally determined<br />

distributions <strong>of</strong> mean and turbulent quantities over sandwaves. a)<br />

Velocity pr<strong>of</strong>iles b) TKE density c) Kinematic shear stress d) Kinematic<br />

bed shear stress. The failure <strong>of</strong> this model to predict separation (as<br />

shown by poor fit in graphs b and c) was put down to the assumption <strong>of</strong><br />

hydrostatic pressure. Nevertheless the model was used to predict<br />

sediment transport over a series <strong>of</strong> three bedforms. Any agreement with<br />

sediment transport data must therefore be fortuitous.
