The impact of biological bedforms on near-bed and subsurface flow: a laboratory validated numerical study of flow in the vicinity of pits and mounds

The data were used in the paper "The impact of biological bedforms on near-bed and subsurface flow: a laboratory validated numerical study of flow in the vicinity of pits and mounds" which was submitted to "Journal of Geophysical Research-Earth Surface". In this paper, a novel, unified water-sediment three-dimensional model is developed to investigate the impact of simulated biogenic bedforms. The impact of biogenic bedforms on near-bed turbulence and sediment entrainment is discussed in gravelly substrates. Biogenic bedform morphology has an important role in determining the spatial extent of up- and down-welling flow.
