Modeling unsteady windblown sand dynamics requires not only treatment of the sand present in the air as a suspended constituent of a mixture but also consideration of erosion and sedimentation phenomena and consequently of the morphodynamic evolution of the sand-bed surface, including avalanching, especially in the presence of natural or human-built obstacles, artifacts, and infrastructures. With this aim in mind, we present a comprehensive multiphase model capable of accurately simulating all the physical phenomena mentioned above, producing satisfactory results, with reasonable computational effort. As test cases, two- and three-dimensional simulations of dune evolution are reported, as is windblown sand transport over a straight vertical wall. Examples of sand transport around other obstacles are given to show the flexibility of the model and its usefulness for such engineering applications.

Abstract
Modeling unsteady windblown sand dynamics requires not only treatment of the sand present in the air as a suspended constituent of a mixture but also consideration of erosion and sedimentation phenomena and consequently of the morphodynamic evolution of the sand-bed surface, including avalanching, especially in the presence of natural or human-built obstacles, artifacts, and infrastructures. With this aim in mind, we present a comprehensive multiphase model capable of accurately simulating all the physical phenomena mentioned above, producing satisfactory results, with reasonable computational effort. As test cases, two- and three-dimensional simulations of dune evolution are reported, as is windblown sand transport over a straight vertical wall. Examples of sand transport around other obstacles are given to show the flexibility of the model and its usefulness for such engineering applications.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
