Reversing transverse dunes: Modelling of airflow switching using 3D computational fluid dynamics

•3D modelling shows shear stress clustering on transverse dunes with reversed winds.•Winds on long stoss slopes and steep lees have higher surface shear stress and flux.•Reversed winds result in almost 10% less aeolian flux.•Dune surface remoulds to smoother topography under reversed wind regimes.•F...
