The blocking effect of the sand fences quantified using wind tunnel simulations

Fences are one of the most effective measures to prevent and control wind-blown sand disasters, and the blocking effect of fences is largely determined by their porosity and height ( H ). This study employed wind tunnel experiments to measure wind velocities on both sides of wire mesh sand fences wi...
