Abstract
Analytical relations are derived for the wavelength of rolling-grain ripples formed by the action of water waves. Experiments with a tray of sediment oscillated in a tank of still water are reported. The results appear to confirm the theoretical relation obtained for very mobile sediments.Keywords
