Wind erosion control using inoculation of aeolian sand with cyanobacteria

Land Degradation and Development, 2020
Wind erosion is a natural phenomenon that has been increasing due to anthropogenic activities. Wind erosion has detrimental consequences on the environment, and its prevention is a critical issue in many arid regions of the world. The topic of this study

A Method for Determining Field Wind Erosion Rates from Wind-Tunnel-Derived Functions

Transactions of the ASAE, 1984
ABSTRACT THE mass flow rate equation for a convex-shaped field surface subjected to wind erosion is derived by the application of the steady state continuity equation. It is assumed and justified that the soil flow can be idealized as a flux. The resultant equation, predicted on the availability of line-intensity functions (q) developed from wind ...

Contributions of solar-wind induced potential sputtering to the lunar surface erosion rate and it’s exosphere

Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section B: Beam Interactions with Materials and Atoms, 2018
Abstract Sputtering of lunar regolith by solar-wind protons and heavy ions with kinetic energies of about 1 keV/amu is an important erosive process that affects the lunar surface and exosphere. It plays an important role in changing the chemical composition and thickness of the surface layer, and in introducing material into the exosphere.

Wind erosion of soil influenced by clay amendment in the inland Pacific Northwest, USA

Land Degradation and Development, 2020
Soil clay content is one of the primary intrinsic soil properties affecting soil erodibility and ecological processes, but few studies have tested the effects of clay amendment on wind erosion of soil.

Effect of nano-silica/alumina hybrid coating on erosion resistance of glass fibre-reinforced polymer for the application of wind turbine blades

Proceedings of the Institution of mechanical engineers. Part J, journal of engineering tribology, 2021
Polymeric coatings reinforced with nanoparticles have recently occupied special focus by researchers and have been used in several industrial applications such as wind turbine manufacturing, oil and gas, aerospace and automotive industries.

Comparative rates of wind versus water erosion from a small semiarid watershed in southern Arizona, USA

Aeolian Research, 2011
The relative erosion rates of wind and water erosion have rarely been studied simultaneously and are poorly quantified. In this study, wind and water erosion rates were simultaneously measured and compared over 2 yrs for a small rangeland watershed in the Santa Rita Experimental Range in southern Arizona.

Aerodynamic interaction of rain and wind turbine blades: the significance of droplet slowdown and deformation for leading-edge erosion

Wind Energy Science
. Leading-edge rain erosion is a severe problem in the wind energy community since it leads to blade damage and a reduction in annual energy production by up to a few percent.

Using 137Cs tracing technique to estimate wind erosion rates in the typical steppe region, northern Mongolian Plateau

Science Bulletin, 2008
Wind erosion is one of the major factors of land degradation in the typical steppe region, northern Mongolian Plateau. Using 137Cs tracing technique, we estimated the wind erosion rates of different pastures and abandoned farmland at Bayannur and Karakorum in Mongolia.

Quantifying Wind Erosion During the Late Quaternary in the Qaidam Basin, Central Asia

Geophysical Research Letters, 2019
Wind erosion is an important surface process on terrestrial planets but is difficult to quantify particularly on long‐term timescales. Here we use high‐resolution Terrestrial Laser Scanning and cosmogenic Beryllium‐10 (10Be) exposure dating to ...

The fractionation of soil aggregates associated with primary particles influencing wind erosion rates in arid to semiarid environments

Geoderma, 2019
Abstract Soil particle size distribution (PSD) plays an important role in wind erosion studies and sediment transport modeling. Few studies have been done focusing on the susceptibility of different soil fractions to wind erosion under natural conditions.
