• Saltating particles in a turbulent boundary layer: experiment and theory (2009, methodology): “Particle trajectories have been studied using high-speed photography (White & Schulz 1977; Napalnis, Hunt & Barrett 1993; Nishimura & Hunt 2000) that permits the variation of the grain speed with the height to be obtained but, unfortunately, only for very small particle concentrations.”
• A comprehensive numerical model of steady state saltation (COMSALT) (2009, background): “…isotropic turbulence, the standard deviations of the horizontal and vertical turbulent wind speeds equal su ¼ bukz @Ux @z ; sw ¼ bwkz @Ux @z ; ð10Þ where bu = 1.4 ± 0.1 and bw = 2.5 ± 0.1 [Hunt and Weber, 1979; Shao, 1995; Nishimura and Hunt, 2000] and where k = 0.40 is the von Kármán constant.”
