Summary
The emerging ripple is eroded where the shear stress increases due to contraction of the streamline toward the sediment bed. Accretion occurs where streamlines diverge from the sediment bed. The erosion-accretion boundary is shifted by the saturation length [math]L_{sat}[/math], the distance over which the sediment flux adjusts to a change in shear stress.
