Physical effects of vegetation on wind-blown sand in the coastal environments of Florida

摘要

One and two-dimensional, second order turbulence plant canopy flowudmodels were developed for the purpose of estimating the effect ofudcoastal vegetation on wind blown sand transport. The computer programudthat solves the governing differential equations uses measured leafudarea density profiles and drag coefficients for crop plants similar inudshape and size to the more common coastal vegetation in Florida.
