Turbulence and aeolian sand transport

A description and some results of the calculated aeolian sand transport including the turbulence intensity and the autocorrelation of the wind field in the transport equation’s are presented in this study. The simulated transport related to Sørensen (2004) transport equation varies by more than 100% for one and the same friction velocity and one and the same sand type near the thresholds by variation of turbulence
intensity and/or the autocorrelation of the wind. Published results of sand transport measurements are imperfect and not comparable without information about the characteristics of the turbulent wind. An indication of friction velocity, threshold friction velocity and measured transport must be supplement by the specification of the turbulence intensity and the autocorrelation of the wind velocity.
