    Notes: Abstract: In a recent paper, Mizera and Horváth computed the effects of environmental factors on shot put and hammer throw ranges [J. Biomech. 35, (2002) 785-796]. They found that the geographic location (latitude and altitude) influences throwing distances as strongly as meteorological conditions (wind and air density). Considering the small differences in record-breaking results, they proposed that normalization to a reference stadium should be introduced. Here we attempt to detect possible correlations between geographic location and throwing ranges by using all-time best result lists. Unfortunately the separation of the effects of different environmental factors is not possible, simply because they are not documented. Our tests failed to find the expected correlation. We conclude that the variance of human factors seems to dominate, thus any correction of measured results is probably unnecessary.

    Notes: Abstract: Almost fifty years of investigations of barchan dunes morphology and dynamics is reviewed, with emphasis on the physical understanding of these objects. The characteristic quantities measured on the field (shape, size, velocity) and the physical problems they rise are presented. Then, we review the dynamical mechanisms explaining the formation and the propagation of dunes. In particular a complete and original approach of the sand transport over a flat sand bed is proposed and discussed. We conclude on open problems by outlining future research directions.

    Notes: Abstract: We present in this paper a simplification of the dune model proposed by Sauermann et al. which keeps the basic mechanisms but allows analytical and parametric studies. Two kinds of purely propagative two dimensional solutions are exhibited: dunes and domes. The latter, by contrast to the former, do not present a slip face. Their shape and velocity can be predicted as a function of their size. We recover that dune profiles are not scale invariant (small dunes are flatter than the large ones), and that the inverse of the velocity grows almost linearly with the dune size. We furthermore get the existence of a critical mass below which no dune solution exists. It rises the problem of dune nucleation: how can dunes appear if any bump below this minimal mass gets eroded and disappears? The linear stability analysis of a flat sand bed shows that it is unstable at large wavelengths: dune can in fact nucleate from a small sand mass if the proto-dune is sufficiently long.
