Aeolian processes are tightly linked to soil and vegetation change in arid and semi-arid
systems at multiple spatial and temporal scales. Wind influences patterns of vegetation and …

This paper reviews literature on the aerodynamics and morphodynamics of sand fences. We
consider both wind fences for reducing wind erosion, and sand-trapping fences for …

Porosity is the most important parameter that determines the efficiency of wind fences. The
present study provided a deeper understanding of mean flow regime behind fences with …

Abstract Knowledge of wind erosion as a dynamic phenomenon changing in space is of
importance in measuring and modeling soil erosion. While, many erosion studies have been …

Soil loss caused by wind erosion is a widespread phenomenon in the Sahelian zone of
West Africa. According to Sahelian farmers, scattered vegetation standing in amongst the …

Wind flow has been studied in situations where it encounters porous and solid windbreaks,
but there has been a lack of research exploring turbulent wind dynamics around and in the …

The variation laws of flow field structure leeward a corrugated wind barrier with different
bending angles and their sheltering performance on a train above a railway bridge were …

This study provides evidence supporting the use of the update strategies for the support
vector regression (SVR) model. Firstly, the fitting and interpolation method (FIM) is presented …

Windbreaks such as vegetation barriers, fences, and buildings' perforated facades are used
in various environmental and wind mitigation applications. Numerical simulation of the …

Abstract The Lanzhou-Xinjiang High-speed Railway runs through an expansive wind area in
the Gobi Desert and blown-sand disasters are a critical issue affecting its operation. To …
