In the present study, effects of irregular waves on two-dimensional beach transformation and related phenomena were investigated through a series of laboratory experiments. Attempts were made to determine a representative wave of irregular wave trains which controlled individual phenomenon related to the two-dimensional beach profile change. It was found that the representative wave is different for each phenomenon. For the macroscopic beach profile change, it is the mean wave which represents whole incident waves. On the other hand, some of microscopic phenomena, such as initiation of sand movement and sand ripple formation, are controlled by larger waves in the wave train selectively, of which representative wave is the significant wave.

In this study, for the numerical simulation of the sand ripple’s forming process which caused by the sand flow, the simulation models based on the fluid dynamics and the sand flow field by the wind are analyzed. Due to sand field’s characteristics is very complex, the establishing process of stream flow field constitutive equations analyzed at first, and then the implication relations and independency between stream flow field and the sand flow field analyzed. Finally, the sand ripple forming and moving process simulated in uniform and non-uniform stream flow field.
