Slope effect on saltation over a climbing sand dune
Results from a three-year study are presented that integrate field work (in Israel), physical modeling (wind-tunnel testing at UC Davis), and numerical solutions of grain trajectories to model and explain sand transport over a climbing dune. Field grain-size analyses of surfaceand saltation-trap materials taken along various positions of the slope suggest that only smaller particles (< 230 pm i...

متن کاملTimescale Dependence of Aeolian Sand Flux Observations Under Atmospheric Turbulence
The transport of sand in saltation is driven by the persistently unsteady stresses exerted by turbulent winds. Based on coupled high-frequency observations of wind velocity and sand flux on a desert dune during intermittent saltation, we show here how observations of saltation by natural winds depend significantly on the timescale and method used for determining shear stress and sand flux. The ...
متن کاملNew Method for Estimation of Aeolian Sand Transport Rate Using Ceramic Sand Flux Sensor (UD-101)
In this study, a new method for the estimation of aeolian sand transport rate was developed; the method employs a ceramic sand flux sensor (UD-101). UD-101 detects wind-blown sand impacting on its surface. The method was devised by considering the results of wind tunnel experiments that were performed using a vertical sediment trap and the UD-101. Field measurements to evaluate the estimation a...
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...
