Physical effects of vegetation on wind-blown sand in the coastal environments of Florida
One and two-dimensional, second order turbulence plant canopy flow
models were developed for the purpose of estimating the effect of
coastal vegetation on wind blown sand transport. The computer program
that solves the governing differential equations uses measured leaf
area density profiles and drag coefficients for crop plants similar in
shape and size to the more common coastal vegetation in Florida. (Document has 57 pages.
