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 …

Loess deposits are recorders of aeolian activity during past glaciations. Since the size
distribution of loess deposits depends on distance to the dust source, and environmental …

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 …

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 …

Wind-driven sand transport generates atmospheric dust, forms dunes, and sculpts
landscapes. However, it remains unclear how the flux of particles in aeolian saltation—the …

Sediment transport is studied as a function of the grain to fluid density ratio using two phase
numerical simulations based on a discrete element method for particles coupled to a …

We report on wind tunnel measurements on saltating particles in a turbulent boundary layer
and provide evidence that over an erodible bed the particle velocity in the saltation layer and …

Much of the surface of Mars is covered by dunes, ripples, and other features formed by the
blowing of sand by wind, known as saltation. In addition, saltation loads the atmosphere with …

In order to investigate the intermittency of the aeolian saltation, a saltation model, forced with
instantaneous velocity fields, has been introduced in a Large Eddy Simulation airflow model …

Saltation, the wind‐driven hopping motion of sand grains, forms dunes and ripples, and
ejects fine dust particles into the atmosphere on Mars. Although the wind speed at which …
