The transport of particulate by wind constitutes a relevant phenomenon in environmental
sciences and civil engineering, because erosion, transport and deposition of particulate can …

Snow is one of the most dynamic natural elements on the Earth's surface, and the variations
in its distribution in time and space profoundly affect the hydrological cycle, climate system …

A wind tunnel experiment on sand erosion/deposition around a cube was performed to
clarify the basic phenomena and obtain validation data for computational fluid dynamics …

The nature of wind flow over a small, 0.6 m high foredune scarp is investigated on the Sir
Richard Peninsula, South Australia during a variety of incident wind directions and speeds …

Modeling unsteady windblown sand dynamics requires not only treatment of the sand
present in the air as a suspended constituent of a mixture but also consideration of erosion …

Abstract The Dunhuang–Golmud railway passes through different deserts in arid areas,
especially drifting-sand desert and sandy-gravel Gobi. The near-surface wind environment …

Windblown sand action on critical infrastructures, such as high-speed railway lines, can
completely inhibit their operation detrimentally affecting their safety and capacity. Several …

Abstract The present CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) study investigates the triggering
of aeolian erosion, which takes place on two transverse sand piles placed in tandem. The …

A numerical model is presented that compute the geometrical dimensions and movement of
downstream migrating antidunes. The model solves the Navier–Stokes equations together …

Open storage yards at industrial sites usually comprise several piles of granular materials,
representing a particulate matter source that may significantly deteriorate air quality. The …
