## Abstract This paper focuses on a key problem in windβblown sand transport research, the liftβoff velocities of sand grains. A threeβdimensional grainβbed collision model comprising an impact sand grain, a creeping sand grain and a sustaining grain is presented. Based on this model, the analytica

## Abstract A series of wind tunnel experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of surface roughness distribution on evaporation processes. In particular, the relationship between nonβhomogeneous roughness distribution parameters and effective roughness parameters, which are often required
**Abstract** Reliable predictions of wind erosion depend on the accuracy of determining whether erosion occurs or not. Among the several factors that govern the initiation of soil movement by wind, surface moisture is one of the most significant. Some widely used models that predict the threshold sh
