Abstract

I will deiscuss the drag of particles on granular surfaces by a fluid. I will present simulations using FLUENT of Aeolian saltation under Earth and Mars conditions obtaining among others the static and dynamic threshold shear and the height of the saltation layer as function of the wind strength. A universal quadratic increase of the saturated flux as function of the difference from the threshold is established.
