Grain Size and Shape of Sand Grains in Ergs of Iran
Large areas of Iran are under the influence of wind erosion thus it is important that we recognize three zones ofremoval, transportation and deposition. The deposition zone is very important due to more damages and tangibleeffects. In this study we try to obtain a comprehensive idea to Persian desert with use of laboratory facilities, remotesensing, GIS and field surveying. We survey 28 ergs in...
متن کاملThe Effects of Grain Size Distribution and Structure on Mechanical Behavior of Silty Sand
In order to investigate the effects of the grain size distribution and the micro-structure of soils on the mechanical characteristics, some static triaxial compression tests were carried out, and then the relationship of stress-strain and the strength behavior of silty sand were compared among undisturbed samples with different grain size distribution, undisturbed and remolded samples with the ...
متن کاملUnderstanding and predicting the temporal variability of sediment grain size characteristics on high-energy beaches
Despite representing a key parameter when modelling morphology or sediment transport, surface sediments are often assumed homogenous, with grain size temporally constant. This contribution uses a 6-year data set of monthly sediment samples to quantify the observed variability in intertidal beach sands at four energetic, macrotidal locations (North Cornwall, UK). Changes in grain size and sortin...
متن کاملPatterns in hydraulic binary size sand grain ripples
An experimental study of a sand bed submitted to a transient water shear flow in a vertical axis cylindrical container is reported. The appearance of spontaneous phase segregation in the spiral ripple patterns is shown. Larger grains are observed to segregate on the downstream part of the ripples, while the smaller ones segregate on the upstream part. The relative repose angles between sand spe...
متن کاملFormulating Fine to Medium Sand Erosion for Suspended Sediment Transport Models
The capacity of an advection/diffusion model to predict sand transport under varying wave and current conditions is evaluated. The horizontal sand transport rate is computed by vertical integration of the suspended sediment flux. A correction procedure for the near-bed concentration is proposed so that model results are independent of the vertical resolution. The method can thus be implemented ...
