Aeolian sand transport: Scaling of mean saltation length and height and implications for mass flux scaling
Thomas Pähtz, Katharina Tholen
Wind tunnel measurements of the mean saltation length and of different proxies of the mean saltation height in saturated aeolian sand transport indicate that and ar…
The physics of sediment transport initiation, cessation, and entrainment across aeolian and fluvial environments
Thomas Pähtz, Abram H. Clark, Manousos Valyrakis +1
Predicting the morphodynamics of sedimentary landscapes due to fluvial and aeolian flows requires answering the following questions: Is the flow strong enough to initiate sediment…
Comment on "Distinct Thresholds for the Initiation and Cessation of Aeolian Saltation From Field Measurements" by Raleigh L. Martin and Jasper F. Kok: Alternative Interpretation of Measured Thresholds as two Distinct Cessation Thresholds
Thomas Pähtz
Martin and Kok (2018a) measured two distinct aeolian saltation transport thresholds: a larger threshold below which continuous saltation transport becomes intermittent and a smalle…
The Critical Role of the Boundary Layer Thickness for the Initiation of Aeolian Sediment Transport
Thomas Pähtz, Manousos Valyrakis, Xiao-Hu Zhao +1
Here, we propose a conceptual framework of Aeolian sediment transport initiation that includes the role of turbulence. Upon increasing the wind shear stress above a threshold v…
Front Velocity and Front Location of Lock-exchange Gravity Currents Descending a Slope in a Linearly Stratified Environment
Liang Zhao, Zhiguo He, Yafei Lv +3
Gravity currents descending a slope in a linearly stratified environment can be frequently encountered in nature. However, few studies have quantitatively investigated the evolutio…
