Leading Edge Erosion of Wind Turbine Blades: Effects of Environmental Parameters on Impact Velocities and Erosion Damage Rate [PDF]
Volume 9: Ocean Renewable Energy, 2020 Abstract Leading edge erosion (LEE) of a wind turbine blade (WTB) is a complex phenomenon that contributes to high operation and maintenance costs. The impact between rain droplets and rotating blades exerts cyclic fatigue stresses on the leading edge — causing progressive material loss and reduced aerodynamic performance.

The Effects of Tailing Dam Profiles on Relative Wind Erosion Rates [PDF]
Journal of Environmental Quality, 1986 AbstractErosion from mine treatment and associated residue areas can pose a significant environmental problem for surrounding locations from dust and other transported materials. The shape of such residue areas can influence windfield behaviour by causing significant wind speed increases. Residue areas are often unprotected so that increasing the speed

The effect of fluctuations in moisture on resistance to soil erosion in the process of dust production (Case study of Lake Bazangan , Iran) [PDF]
علوم و مهندسی آبیاری, 2020 The drying of lakes and wetlands is a significant challenge to the hydrological cycle of resources, to human life, and to animal and plant species. The bed soils of lakes in arid and semi-arid regions become dry and wet due to various factors, such as ...

Spatiotemporal dynamics and drivers of wind erosion on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China
Ecological Indicators, 2021 Land degradation caused by wind erosion seriously threatens the supply of ecosystem services on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP). Assessing wind erosion variations is critical to identify key change areas and formulate desertification control strategies ...
