The theory of wet granular material is applied to the study of the influence of moisture on the entrainment of sand by wind in the first process of aeolian sand transport. The interparticle force due to water bridge is calculated using the toroidal approximation at first; and then the moment balance

**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
This paper reports on a wind tunnel study of the effects of bed slope and wind speed on aeolian mass transport. The use of a sloping wind tunnel has enabled estimation of the friction angle ฮฑ to be about 40ยฐ for saltating particles in the range 170โ540โฮผm. A formula relating dimensionless mass trans
