CFD flow dynamics over model scarps and slopes

Patrick A. Hesp et al.

Summary: As the slope decreases, the extent of wind flow deceleration and separation becomes smaller, with maximum flow separation and reverse vortex development occurring on the vertical scarp.

A lower-than-expected saltation threshold at Martian pressure and below

Bruno Andreotti et al.

Summary: The experiments reveal that Martian conditions belong to a previously unexplored saltation regime, with the threshold wind speed for saltation decreasing unexpectedly with higher density ratios. Impact ripples, on the other hand, show characteristic wavelength and propagation velocity independent of pressure. This suggests that sediment transport at low Reynolds number but high grain-to-fluid density ratio may be dominated by collective effects associated with grain inertia in the granular collisional layer.

Multi-model Meteorological and Aeolian Predictions for Mars 2020 and the Jezero Crater Region

C. E. Newman et al.

Summary: The study used nine simulations to predict the meteorology and aeolian activity of the Mars 2020 landing site region. The results show variations in the predictions of atmospheric temperature and wind speeds among different simulations, but most simulations consistently indicate sand transport towards the WNW, which is in line with actual observations.

Urban-Scale Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations with Boundary Conditions from Similarity Theory and a Mesoscale Model

Demetri Bouris et al.

Summary: Urban-scale models provide detailed information on environmental parameters at building scale, with demanding boundary condition definitions to be compatible with environmental conditions and numerical modeling. Including the effects of diverse atmospheric conditions in microscale simulations significantly impacts critical building design parameters.

Inferring Airflow Across Martian Dunes From Ripple Patterns and Dynamics

D. R. Hood et al.

Summary: Ripples on Martian sand dunes can be mapped and tracked using high-resolution optical images, providing insights into airflow dynamics including wind direction and speed. Changes in ripple patterns reflect interactions between wind forces and dune topography, while ripple migration rates indicate the response of dunes and airflow dynamics.
