The precise estimation of accelerated soil wind erosion that can cause severe economic and environmental impacts still has not been achieved to date. The objectives of this investigation were to verify the applicability of a Wind Erosion Prediction System (WEPS) that expressed the soil loss as mass per area for specific areas of interest on a daily basis for a single event in arable lands. To this end, we selected and evaluated the results published by Hagen in 2004 and the soil depth converted from the mass of soil losses obtained by using the WEPS. Hagen's results obtained from the WEPS model followed the 1 : 1 line between predicted and measured value for soil losses with only less than 2 kg·m-2 whereas the values between the measured and predicted loss did not show any correlation for the given field conditions due to the initial field surface condition although the model provided reasonable estimates of soil loss. Calculated soil depths of the soil loss by wind for both the observed and predicted ones ranged from 0.004 to 3.113 cm·10 a-1 and from 0 to 2.013 cm·10 a-1, respectively. Comparison of the soil depths between the observed and predicted ones did not show any good relationship, and there was no soil loss in the predicted one while slight soil loss was measured in the observed one. Therefore, varying the essential model inputs and factors related to wind speed and soil properties are needed to accurately estimate soil loss for a given field in arable land.

Effects of porous fences on the wind erosion of sand particles from a triangular pile were investigated experimentally. The porous fence and sand pile were installed in a simulated atmospheric boundary layer. The mean velocity and turbulent intensity profiles measured at the sand pile location were well fitted to the atmospheric boundary layer over the open terrain. Particle motion was visualized to see the motion of windblown sand particles qualitatively. In addition, the threshold velocity were measured using a light sensitive video camera with varying the fence porosity ${\varepsilon}$. As a result, various types of particle motion were observed according to the fence porosity. The porous wind fence having porosity ${\varepsilon}=30%$ was revealed to have the maximum threshold velocity, indicating good shelter effect for abating windblown dust particles.

인천 직할시 영종도와 용유도 사이에 방조제를 축조하여 형성한 간석지에 바다에서 준설한 모래로 매립하여 성토한 토지 기반에 건설되고 있는 인천 국제 공항의 착륙대 녹지 지반 조성 시험 연구 포장에서 1996년 8월부터 1997년 7월까지 기상과 풍식성 입단에 의한 풍식 특성을 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 시험 포장에서 조사된 바람의 주풍은 북서풍과 남서풍이며, 11월부터 5월까지의 건조기에 주로 비사가 발생하였다. 입경이 0.37 mm인 입자의 비산거리는 $5m\;s^{-1}$일 때 0.59 m까지 튀어 약 9.1 m 날아가며, $7m\;s^{-1}$, $9m\;s^{-1}$, $15m\;s^{-1}$ 일때는 각각 0.86 m, 1.05 m, 1.75 m 튀어 올라 각각 17.8 m, 29.9 m, 49.8 m까지 날아간다. 시험 포지의 내풍식성 입단의 함량은 6.12%로서 풍식성 인자는 $380Mg\;ha^{-1}$이며, 이는 년간 풍식량이므로 1일로 환산하면 $1.04Mg\;ha^{-1}$로 1일에 1 ha당 1.04 Mg의 토양이 풍식으로 인해 유실될 수 있다. 11월부터 5월까지 무강수 기간중 풍속 $5m\;s^{-1}$ 이상의 풍식 가능 일수는 43.5일 이었고, 이 기간 중 풍식 가능량은 $45.2Mg\;ha^{-1}$이다. 토양 수분이 알맞은 토양의 풍식 가능량은 건조한 토양의 25%, 지면이 잔디로 피복되어 있는 토양은 건조한 토양의 6~29%이다. 따라서 풍식을 최소로 줄이기 위해서는 잔디의 피복도를 빠르게 높혀 주어야 하고, 토양을 건조하지 않게 유지시켜야 한다.

The mean velocity and turbulent intensity profiles measured at the sand pile location were well fitted to the atmospheric boundary layer over the open terrain. Flow visualization was carried out to investigate the motion of windblown sand particles qualitatively. In addition, the threshold velocity were measured using a light sensitive video camera with varying the particle size, fence porosity $\varepsilon$ and the height of sand pile. As a result, various types of particle motion were observed according to the fence porosity. The porous wind fence having porosity $\varepsilon$=30% was revealed to have the maximum threshold velocity, indicating good shelter effect for abating windblown dust particles. With increasing the sand particle diamter, the threshold velocity was also increased. When the height of sand pile is lower than the fence height, threshold velocity is enhanced.

This study evaluates the structural safety of wind turbine blades, analyzes the behavior of composite laminate structures with and without defects, and assesses surface erosion wear. The NREL 5 MW standard is applied to assign accurate composite material properties to each blade section. Modeling and analysis of the wind turbine blades reveal stable behavior under individual load conditions (gravity, motor speed, wind speed), with the web bearing most of the load. Surface erosion wear analysis in which microparticle impacts are simulated on the blade coating shows a maximum stress and maximum displacement of 14 MPa and 0.02 mm, respectively, indicating good initial durability, but suggest potential long-term performance issues due to cumulative effects. The study examines defect effects on composite laminate structures to compare the stress distribution, strain, and stiffness characteristics between normal and cracked states. Although normal conditions exhibit stable behavior, crack defects lead to fiber breakage, high-stress concentration in the vulnerable resin layer, and decreased rigidity. This demonstrates that local defects can compromise the safety of the entire structure. The study utilizes finite element analysis to simulate various load scenarios and defect conditions. Results show that even minor defects can significantly alter stress distributions and potentially lead to catastrophic failure if left unaddressed. These findings provide valuable insights for wind turbine blade safety evaluations, surface protection strategies, and composite structure health management. The methodology and results can inform the design improvements, maintenance strategies, and defect detection techniques of the wind energy industry.

Recently, the construction industry has focused on eco-friendly materials instead of traditional materials due to their harmful effects on the environment. To this end, biopolymers are among proper choices to improve the geotechnical behavior of problematic soils. In the current study, serish biopolymer is introduced as a new binder for the purpose of sand improvement. Serish is a natural polysaccharide extracted from the roots of Eremurus plant, which mainly contains inulins. The effect of serish biopolymer on sand treatment has been investigated through performing unconfined compressive strength (UCS), California bearing ratio (CBR), as well as wind erosion tests. The results demonstrated that serish increased the compressive strength of dune sand in both terms of UCS and CBR. Also, wind erosion resistance of the sand was considerably improved as a result of treatment with serish biopolymer. A microstructural study was also conducted via SEM images; it can be seen that serish coated the sand particles and formed a strong network.

CFD is applied to evaluate pedestrian wind comfort at outdoor platforms in a high-rise apartment building. Model validation is focused on generic building sub-configurations that are obtained by decomposition of the actual complex building geometry. The comfort study is performed during the design stage, which allows structural design changes to be made for wind comfort improvement. Preliminary simulations are performed to determine the effect of different design modifications. A full wind comfort assessment study is conducted for the final design. Structural remedial measures for this building, aimed at reducing pressure short-circuiting, appear to be successful in bringing the discomfort probability estimates down to acceptable levels. Finally, the importance of one of the main sources of uncertainty in this type of wind comfort studies is illustrated. It is shown that the uncertainty about the terrain roughness classification can strongly influence the outcome of wind comfort studies and can lead to wrong decisions. This problem is present to the same extent in both wind tunnel and CFD wind comfort studies when applying the same particular procedure for terrain relation contributions as used in this paper.

본 연구는 기준목 측정값과 입도분석자료, 풍향 및 풍속자료를 이용하여 안면도 할미섬 주변의 침식 및 퇴적환경 요인을 분석하였다. 할미섬 주변의 퇴적 및 침식환경 변화를 관찰하기 위해 할미섬 주변 12곳에 기준목을 설치하고 2010년 5월 16일부터 2012년 5월 8일까지 총 32회의 현장실측을 실시하였다. 현장실측 결과 H-3, H-4, H-5, H-9 지점은 퇴적환경이 우세한 것으로 나타났으며, H-7, H-8, H-10, H-11, H-12 지점은 침식환경이 우세한 것으로 나타났다. 반면에 H-2, H-6 지점은 침식과 퇴적이 반복적으로 나타나고 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 이러한 결과는 할미섬의 남서측에 설치된 제방에 의해 해빈의 모래가 할미섬의 북동변으로 이동하지 못하고 이들 지점에 퇴적되었기 때문인 것으로 판단되며, 할미섬 전면의 비치리즈에서 모래를 공급받지 못한 북동측에서는 침식이 우세하게 진행된 것으로 판단된다. 즉 일반적으로 할미섬의 남서측에서는 퇴적이 우세한 반면 북동측에서는 침식이 우세한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 북동측의 H-9 지점과 남서측의 H-12지점은 반대의 경향이 관찰되었는데, H-9 지점의 경우 할미섬에 연결된 사취의 끝단에 위치하고 있어 조류에 의한 퇴적물 공급이 가능했기 때문으로 분석되었다. 반면 사구에 위치한 H-12 지점은 측정기간이 짧아 침식원인에 대한 분석을 내리기가 어려웠다.
