The experiments were conducted in the Trent University Environmental Wind Tunnel, Peterborough, Ontario, and on the tailings ponds at the Unimin Ltd Nephton mine near Havelock, Ontario. Treated surfaces were subjected to particle-… more Full Text: A wind tunnel and field evaluation of the efficacy of various dust suppressants A Thesis Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in the Faculty of Arts and Science TRENT …

Abstract: <p>Aeolian transport of sand particles is an important geomorphic process that occurs over a significant portion of the earth's land surface. Wind tunnel simulations have been used for more than 75 years to advance the understanding of this process; however, there are still several principles that lack validation from direct sampling of the sand particles in flight. Neither the three-… more Full Text: A wind tunnel based investigation of threedimensional grain scale saltation and boundary-layer stress partitioning using Particle Tracking Velocimetry A Dissertation Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements …
