Abstract
The movement od a single dune due to erosion caused by winds is considered The flow over the dune is assumed to be a potenial flow and the dune is characterized as the of an airfoil. A logarithmic velocity profile is attached to the potential flow to include the boundery layer effect in the study. Exnerian erosion theory is applied to calculate the change in dune height due to the wind field.
