Bursts in discontinuous Aeolian saltation
Close to the onset of Aeolian particle transport through saltation we find in wind tunnel experiments a regime of discontinuous flux characterized by bursts of activity. Scaling laws are observed in the time delay between each burst and in the measurements of the wind fluctuations at the fluid threshold Shields number θc. The time delay between each burst decreases on average with the increase ...
متن کاملDynamics of aeolian sand ripples
We analyze theoretically the dynamics of aeolian sand ripples. In order to put the study in the context we first review existing models. This paper is a continuation of two previous papers[3, 4], the first one is based on symmetries and the second on a hydrodynamical model. We show how the hydrodynamical model may be modified to recover the missing terms that are dictated by symmetries. The sym...
متن کاملComputational Simulation of Aeolian Saltation
We reveal that the transition in the saturated flux for aeolian saltation is generically discontinuous by explicitly simulating particle motion in turbulent flow in two dimensions. The discontinuity is followed by a coexistence interval with two metastable solutions. We found also that the mere presence of mid-air collisions, surprisingly, enhances the saturated flux, which has a peak for an in...
متن کاملEvaluating Late Neoproterozoic Glacio-aeolian
Aeolian sandstones are found intimately associated with Late Neoproterozoic ‘snowball Earth’ glacial deposits. Studying the nature of these aeolian deposits offers the great potential to elicit new and important information regarding the wind conditions during these extreme glacial intervals. Wind direction is the dominant paleoclimatic indicator that can be derived from aeolian deposits and on...
متن کاملRe-engineering Aerodynamics Education
Aerodynamics curriculum in undergraduate engineering has reached a critical juncture forcing the need for change in the traditional, largely theoretical curriculum and lecturer/listener pedagogy. The role of aerodynamics in aerospace engineering, while still important, is no longer the dominant driver in aircraft design. Furthermore, industry, government, and academia --the likely employers of ...
