Cover Story: Sand drift has long been a significant contributor to erosion damage and causes serious wear and tear to roads, houses, bridges and other mixed-concrete structures in sandy deserts such as the Gobi. In order to study the erosion damage pattern of sand drift, the wind-blown sand movement on the surface of the Gobi was simulated and the erosion damage caused by aeolian saltation was calculated. The results show that saltation erosion damage rises when the frictional velocity and gravel coverage increases. The saltation erosion rate displays a non-monotonic pattern along the vertical direction, with its maximum value appearing in the height range of 0.03-0.15m. Via a quantitative study, the parameterization scheme for the maximum saltation erosion rate and its corresponding height are presented.  View this paper
