The physics of wind-blown sand and dust
The transport of sand and dust by wind is a potent erosional force, creates sand dunes and
ripples, and loads the atmosphere with suspended dust aerosols. This paper presents an …

Particle resuspension: Challenges and perspectives for future models
Using what has become a celebrated catchphrase, Philip W. Anderson once wrote that
“more is different”(Science, Vol. 177, Issue 4047, pp. 393–396, 1972). First formulated in the …

A comprehensive numerical model of steady state saltation (COMSALT)
The blowing of sand by wind, known as saltation, ejects dust aerosols into the atmosphere,
creates sand dunes, and erodes geological features. We present a comprehensive …

Progress in particle resuspension from rough surfaces by turbulent flows
This article deals with the resuspension phenomenon whereby particles adhering on a wall
surface can be re-entrained by a flowing fluid. This is an area where significant progress has …
