The article describes an original conceptual model that intends to explain the emission mechanism of Particulate Matter from the surfaces of tailing basins exposed to wind erosion. In order to estimate the site-specific parameters of the Emission Factors in the proposed model, the reproduction of the wind flow acting over the erodible surfaces becomes essential. Based on the parameters determined on site and assumed as project objectives, an Environmental Wind Tunnel has been designed to generate a part-depth Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL). The measurements performed in the tunnel proved the simulated wind profiles to be representative of the required ABL.

尾矿盆地风蚀模型的验证：风洞设计和大气边界层模拟

本文介绍了一个原始的概念模型，旨在从暴露于风蚀的尾矿池表面解释颗粒物的排放机理。为了在提出的模型中估算排放因子的特定于地点的参数，作用在易蚀表面上的风流的再现变得至关重要。根据现场确定并假定为项目目标的参数，设计了环境风洞以生成局部深度的大气边界层（ABL）。在隧道中进行的测量证明，模拟风廓线可代表所需的ABL。
