Effects of plants with different shapes and coverage on the blown-sand flux and roughness length examined by wind tunnel experiments

Jiaqi Liu et al.

Summary: The study found that plant shape and coverage have an impact on sand accumulation amount, roughness length, and blown-sand flux. Cone and inverted truncated cone-shaped plants exhibit strong inhibitory effects on blown-sand flux, while cylindrical plants have a strong inhibitory effect on blown-sand flux at greater heights.

A divergence-free inflow turbulence generator using spectral representation method for large-eddy simulation of ABL flows

Abiy F. Melaku et al.

Summary: The paper introduces a computationally efficient technique for synthetic inflow turbulence generation based on the spectral representation method, ensuring that the generated turbulence meets the required statistical properties. The method has been demonstrated to accurately represent one-point and two-point statistics in comparison with wind field measurements, showing potential for computational wind engineering applications.
