Knowledge of aeolian sediment dynamics over an elevated berm with an upwind topographic obstacle is rather scarce and is of utmost importance for understanding aeolian transport from beach to dunes. This study reports on a field experiment designed to carry out simultaneous measurements of wind and aeolian sediment dynamics across a human-constructed berm with a steep seaward cliff backed by a dyke. In front of the dyke, a trench is excavated to prevent aeolian sand being blown to the hinterland. Two sets of measurements were carried out, one with low-moderate (6–7 m/s) oblique onshore wind and one with high velocity winds directly onshore (12–13 m/s). Due to the irregularity of topography upwind of the berm, boundary layer flow dynamics are dramatically different and influenced the sediment dynamics locally. Maximum transport was achieved at a distance of 20 to 35 m downwind from the cliff. Downwind sediment transport was characterized with an overshoot during the oblique onshore wind event. Sand mass flux rapidly increases towards a maximum value followed by a decrease to a lower equilibrium value which was approximately half of the maximum mass flux. The evolution of the vertical flux profiles downwind caused the exponential decay rate β to increase with increasing distance further away from the cliff, until an equilibrium decay rate is achieved. The measurements presented herein show that the distribution of particle trajectories for different transport events changes similar downwind of the cliff until it is stable.

人工建造的沿海堤坝上风成盐的顺风演化

对具有逆风地形障碍的高架护堤上的风沙沉积动力学的了解非常稀少,并且对于了解从海滩到沙丘的风沙运输至关重要。这项研究报告了一项野外实验,该实验旨在同时测量人工筑成的堤坝上的风和风沙沉积物的动力学特性,该堤坝由堤坝支持,陡峭的海崖。在堤坝的前面开了一条沟,以防止风沙吹向腹地。进行了两组测量,一组采用低中度(6–7 m / s)倾斜陆上风,另一组采用直接在陆上高速风(12–13 m / s)。由于护堤上风的不规则性,边界层的流动动力学有很大的不同,并局部影响了沉积物的动力学。在距悬崖下风20至35 m的距离处实现了最大的运输。在倾斜的陆上风事件中,顺风沉积物的输送具有超调的特征。砂质通量迅速增加到最大值,然后降低到较低的平衡值,该平衡值大约是最大质量通量的一半。顺风向的垂直通量分布的演变导致指数衰减率β随距悬崖的距离增加而增加,直至达到平衡衰减率。本文介绍的测量结果表明,对于不同的传输事件,粒子轨迹的分布会在悬崖的顺风附近变化,直到稳定为止。在倾斜的陆上风事件中,顺风沉积物的输送具有超调的特征。砂质通量迅速增加到最大值,然后降低到较低的平衡值,该平衡值大约是最大质量通量的一半。顺风向的垂直通量分布的演变导致指数衰减率β随距悬崖的距离增加而增加,直至达到平衡衰减率。本文介绍的测量结果表明,对于不同的运输事件,粒子轨迹的分布会在悬崖的顺风处发生类似的变化,直到其稳定为止。在倾斜的陆上风事件中,顺风沉积物的输送具有超调的特征。砂质通量迅速增加到最大值,然后降低到较低的平衡值,该平衡值大约是最大质量通量的一半。顺风向的垂直通量分布的演变导致指数衰减率β随距悬崖的距离增加而增加,直至达到平衡衰减率。本文介绍的测量结果表明,对于不同的传输事件,粒子轨迹的分布会在悬崖的顺风附近变化,直到稳定为止。顺风向的垂直通量分布的演变导致指数衰减率β随距悬崖的距离增加而增加,直至达到平衡衰减率。本文介绍的测量结果表明,对于不同的传输事件,粒子轨迹的分布会在悬崖的顺风附近变化,直到稳定为止。顺风向的垂直通量分布的演变导致指数衰减率β随距悬崖的距离增加而增加,直至达到平衡衰减率。本文介绍的测量结果表明,对于不同的传输事件,粒子轨迹的分布会在悬崖的顺风附近变化,直到稳定为止。
