Abstract

The rate of wind-driven sand movement in a dune field is an important parameter needed to establish management strategies for sand dune fields. Until recently not much attention has been given in engineering circles to the possible effect of wind-blown sand transport. However, there is a wealth of literature on the subject which goes back as far as 1936. A study of literature reveals that there are at least 16 formulae for the prediction of the aeolian transport rates which are readily available. This paper describes a technique which utilizes these 16 formulae in the most effective manner for predicting the best estimate of the potential wind-blown transport rate. Restrictions on the applicability of the method are discussed and fields for further research are recommended.
