dc.description 1 m/s), and the bed evolved from no motion (relic) to actively migrating vortex ripples. SHOWEX bedform changes under low wave plus collinear current conditions resulted in minor changes of the vortex ripple fields. Bedform migration rates of the model were similar to the field migration rates. Like the field data, the modeled data under strong forcing removed smaller scale vortex ripples and redistributed the sediment into a larger scale ripple with a large portion of sediments in suspension above the bed. Limitations of the model owing to the 2-D assumption, periodic boundaries and monochromatic wave forcing constraints are discussed.
