Abstract
The formation and the elementary behaviour (e.g. propagation, growth and decay, dispersion) of linear sand banks in shallow tidal seas are analyzed. The principal tool is a linearized mathematical model of three-dimensional topographical changes of a sandy bottom in a tidal environment.
The resulting insight is used to explain this class of sand banks, in general, and the sand bank system off the coast of Holland, The Netherlands, in particular.
