The physics of wind-blown sand and dust

JF Kok, EJR Parteli, TI Michaels… - Reports on progress in …, 2012‏ - iopscience.iop.org
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 …

On aeolian transport: Grain-scale interactions, dynamical mechanisms and scaling laws

O Durán, P Claudin, B Andreotti - Aeolian Research, 2011‏ - Elsevier
Aeolian processes involve the wind action on a sedimentary substrate, namely erosion,
sand transport and deposition. They are responsible for the emergence of aeolian dunes …

A comprehensive numerical model of steady state saltation (COMSALT)

JF Kok, NO Renno - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2009‏ - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Dynamics of beach-dune systems

DJ Sherman, BO Bauer - Progress in Physical Geography, 1993‏ - journals.sagepub.com
Beaches and coastal dunes are dynamic geomorphic systems that respond to process
forcing over a broad spectrum of spatial and temporal scales. At all scales, there are …

Aerodynamics and morphodynamics of sand fences: A review

B Li, DJ Sherman - Aeolian Research, 2015‏ - Elsevier
This paper reviews literature on the aerodynamics and morphodynamics of sand fences. We
consider both wind fences for reducing wind erosion, and sand-trap** fences for …

Field measurement and numerical modelling of aeolian mass flux distributions on a sandy beach

SL Namikas - Sedimentology, 2003‏ - Wiley Online Library
The vertical and horizontal distributions of aeolian mass flux were measured at Oceano
Dunes, California, and these data were used to evaluate a numerical model of saltation …
