TLDR
Sand waves are large flow-transverse bedforms coupled to oscillatory boundary-layer currents of tidal origin this article, and their internal structure apparently depends on the strength and degree of asymmetry of the governing currents.About:

Morphologic and facies trends through the fluvial–marine transition in tide-dominated depositional systems: A schematic framework for environmental and sequence-stratigraphic interpretation
TL;DR: A review of the sediment facies change through the fluvial-to-marine transition is presented in this article. But the authors focus on the sedimentological responses to these processes, focusing on the observable, longitudinal variations in the development and/or abundance of each deposit characteristic (e.g., sand grain size, paleocurrent patterns, mud drapes, and biological attributes).

Reservoir Heterogeneities in Fluvial Sandstones: Lessons from Outcrop Studies
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors classify fluvial sandstones in outcrop using a sixfold hierarchy of lithosome-bounding surfaces, and use this hierarchy to estimate the area of a shale bed depending on the scale of the shale bed with which it is associated.

TL;DR: The unique and evolving nature of the Precambrian geological environment in many ways was responsible for significant differences between precambrian clastic sedimentary deposits and their Phanerozoic-modern equivalents as mentioned in this paper.

Architectural elements and bounding surfaces in fluvial deposits: anatomy of the Kayenta formation (lower jurassic), Southwest Colorado
TL;DR: In this paper, three well-exposed outcrops in the Kayenta Formation (Lower Jurassic), near Dove Creek in southwestern Colorado, were studied using lateral profiles, in order to test recent architectural-element analysis and the classification and interpretation of internal bounding surfaces.

Tidal influence in Cretaceous fluvial strata from Utah, USA: a key to sequence stratigraphic interpretation
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that tidal facies are present in fluvial channels that are completely encased in non-marine strata at distances up to 65 km inland from a coeval palaeoshoreline.

Boundary layer theory
TL;DR: The flow laws of the actual flows at high Reynolds numbers differ considerably from those of the laminar flows treated in the preceding part, denoted as turbulence as discussed by the authors, and the actual flow is very different from that of the Poiseuille flow.

Mass transport in water waves
TL;DR: In this article, a general theory of mass transport is developed, which takes account of the viscosity, and leads to results in agreement with observation, and is shown that the nature of the motion in the interior depends upon the ratio of the wave amplitude a to the thickness δ of the boundary layer.
