Predicting the morphodynamics of sedimentary landscapes due to fluvial and aeolian flows
requires answering the following questions: Is the flow strong enough to initiate sediment …

Using what has become a celebrated catchphrase, Philip W. Anderson once wrote that
“more is different”(Science, Vol. 177, Issue 4047, pp. 393–396, 1972). First formulated in the …

The engineering interest about windblown sand is dictated by the harmful interactions
between sand and a number of human infrastructures in arid environments. Particularly, the …

The study of aeolian geomorphological systems over the last half century has advanced
along several important fronts, supported by developments in technologies and analytic …

Protection from windblown-sand is one of the key engineering issues for construction and
maintenance of human infrastructures in arid environments. In the last century, several …

Desert railways are constantly exposed to incoming sand blown by the wind. The railway
body acts as an obstacle that perturbs the wind flow and the sand drift, resulting in zones of …

Protection from windblown sand is one of the key engineering issues for construction and
maintenance of human infrastructures in arid environments. In the last decades, a number of …

A wind tunnel experiment on sand erosion/deposition around a cube was performed to
clarify the basic phenomena and obtain validation data for computational fluid dynamics …

Using particle‐scale simulations of nonsuspended sediment transport for a large range of
Newtonian fluids driving transport, including air and water, we determine the bulk transport …

Sand fences made of punched steel plate (PSP) have recently been applied to control wind-
blown sand in desertified and Gobi areas due to their strong wind resistance and convenient …
