A simple method to estimate threshold friction velocity of wind erosion in the field
[1] This study provides a fast and easy‐to‐apply method to estimate threshold friction velocity (TFV) of wind erosion in the field. Wind tunnel experiments and a variety of ground measurements including air gun, pocket penetrometer, torvane, and roughness chain were conducted in Moab, Utah and cross‐validated in the Mojave Desert, California. Patterns between TFV and ground measurements were ex...
متن کاملThreshold Windspeeds for Sand on Mars Wind Tunnel Simulations
Wind friction threshold speeds (u,t) for particle movement (saltation) were determined in a wind tunnel operating at martian surface pressure with a 95 percent CO 2 and 5 percent air atmosphere. The relationship between friction speed (u,) and free-stream velocity (%0) is extended to the critical case for Mars of momentum thickness Reynolds numbers (Re0) between 425 and 2000. It is determined t...
متن کاملARTICLE IN PRESS Wind velocity and sand transport on a barchan dune
We present measurements of wind velocity and sand flux performed on the windward side of a large barchan dune in Jericoacoara, northeastern Brazil. From the measured profile, we calculate the air shear stress using an analytical approximation and treat the problem of flow separation by an heuristic model. We find that the results from this approach agree well with our field data. Moreover, usin...
متن کاملRelief Threshold for Eolian Sand Transport on Alluvial Fans
Many arid alluvial-fan terraces downwind from eolian sand sources exhibit an abrupt increase in Av-horizon thickness and sand content below a critical elevation which varies from fan to fan. Above this elevation, sand accumulates locally and is not transported across the fan. Below this elevation both coarse and fine eolian sand from nearby playa and channel sources is readily transported acros...
متن کاملتحلیل میزان فعالیت تپه‌های ماسه‌ای بند ریگ کاشان با استفاده از شاخص لن‌کستر
Kashan Erg is one of the most important sand dunes complexes in Iran. Due to erosive winds, always, Erg's marginal areas are faced to the transition of moving sands. So, in this research, the sand dune activity was investigated by Lancaster index. In this line, Erg's morphology map was prepared using aerial photographic, Google earth software and field observations. Then, maps of iso...
