Zheng X. Mechanics of Wind-blown Sand Movements

Springer-Verlag, Berlin, Heidelberg, 2009. – 298 p. – ISBN: 3540882537Mechanics plays a fundamental role in aeolian processes and other environmental studies. This proposed book systematically presents the new progress in the research of aeolian processes, especially in the research on mechanism, theoretical modelling and computational simulation of aeolian processes from the viewpoint of mechanics.Wind-Blown Sand Environment
