Eight aeolian sand-transport models are evaluated using a field data set and a new
approach to estimating shear velocity. The models are those of Bagnold (1937), Kawamura …

In order to investigate the intermittency of the aeolian saltation, a saltation model, forced with
instantaneous velocity fields, has been introduced in a Large Eddy Simulation airflow model …

The last five years have been marked by rapid technological and analytical developments in
the study of shore processes and in the comprehension of shore deposits and forms, and …

This study presents the results of an experimental investigation of five different pretreatment
methods for measuring the grain-size distribution of allochthonous siliclastic matter in …

We present an analytical model of aeolian sand transport. The model quantifies the
momentum transfer from the wind to the transported sand by providing expressions for the …

A key interest in geomorphology is to predict how the shear stress τ exerted by a turbulent
flow of air or liquid onto an erodible sediment bed affects the transport load M g ̃ (ie, the …

The transport of sediment by a fluid along the surface is responsible for dune formation, dust
entrainment, and a rich diversity of patterns on the bottom of oceans, rivers, and planetary …

The saturation length of aeolian sand transport (Ls), characterizing the distance needed by
wind‐blown sand to adapt to changes in the wind shear, is essential for accurate modeling …

We outline the derivation of a two-phase continuum theory for grains, jumping above a bed
of sand, while accelerated by a turbulent shearing flow, colliding with the bed, rebounding …

A wind tunnel experiment was performed to measure the trajectories of individual sand
grains. Then, the acceleration given by the numerical differentiation was used to assess the …
