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 …

Progress in particle resuspension from rough surfaces by turbulent flows

C Henry, JP Minier - Progress in Energy and Combustion Science, 2014 - Elsevier
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 …

New unsaturated erosion model for landslide: Effects of flow particle size and debunking the importance of frictional stress

CE Choi, P Song - Engineering Geology, 2023 - Elsevier
Flow-type landslides, such as debris flows and rock avalanches, erode soil bed material as
they flow downslope. The eroded material increases the volume of a landslide, and thus, its …

The physics of aeolian sand transport

A Valance, KR Rasmussen… - Comptes …, 2015 - comptes-rendus.academie-sciences …
A major advance in the study of wind-blown sand started seventy years ago with the seminal
work of Bagnold [1]. Since then and in particular in the last decades, important progress has …

Physical processes within a 2D granular layer during an impact

F Bourrier, F Nicot, F Darve - Granular Matter, 2008 - Springer
In this paper, the impact of a block on a coarse granular soil corresponding to rockfall events

Cohesion‐induced enhancement of aeolian saltation

F Comola, J Gaume, JF Kok… - Geophysical Research …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
The wind‐driven saltation of granular material plays a key role in various geophysical
processes on Earth, Mars, Venus, and Titan. Although interparticle cohesion is known to limit …

Energy‐and momentum‐conserving model of splash entrainment in sand and snow saltation

F Comola, M Lehning - Geophysical Research Letters, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Despite being the main sediment entrainment mechanism in aeolian transport, granular
splash is still poorly understood. We provide a deeper insight into the dynamics of sand and …

Laboratory studies of aeolian sediment transport processes on planetary surfaces

KR Rasmussen, A Valance, J Merrison - Geomorphology, 2015 - Elsevier
