Functions

MGBNT_orientation	Calculate the dune orientation growing from the 'maximum gross bedform normal-transport' rule following the model of Courrech du Pont et al. 2014, also called in the later 'bed instability'.
cosd	Cosine element-wise np.cos with an input in degree.
elongation_direction	Calculate the elongation direction following the model of Courrech du Pont et al. 2014.
flux_at_crest	Compute the sand flux at the dune crest:
growth_rate	Calculate the dune growth rate using the model of Courrech du Pont et al. 2014.
resultant_flux_aligned_crest_at_crest	Compute the component of the resultant flux (i.e vectorial average) at the crest aligned with the dune crest.
resultant_flux_at_crest	Compute the resultant flux (i.e vectorial average) of the sand flux at the dune crest.
resultant_flux_perp_crest_at_crest	Compute the component of the resultant flux (i.e vectorial average) at the crest perpendicular to the dune crest.
sind	Trigonometric sine using np.sin, element-wise with an input in degree.
vector_average	Calculate the average vector from series of angles and norms.
