In the coastal environment, wave-induced sand ripples are usually observed under moderate near-bed flow conditions. Their occurrence significantly changes the local hydrodynamics and sediment transport processes. Over the past few decades, some solid progresses have been made towards understating the ripple dimensions under wave-generated near-bed flows, e.g., O'Donoghue et al. [2006], but very few studies are targeted on the more detailed geometric characteristics, e.g., the generic shape of ripples and the sharpness of ripple crests, which are closely related to the coherent vortex structures. This study is aimed at filling this knowledge gap.
