| Description | Since the wind tunnel proposed to be used for the Space Station Planetology Experiments are of a rather limited size, some experience and techniques used for saltation experiments in a small linear wind tunnel may be of interest. Three experiences are presented. The first concerns a length effect of saltation mass flux in which the size of the wind tunnel exaggerates the physical process taking place. A second experience concerns a non-optical technique that does not interfere with flow and by which momentum and mass fluxes to the flow may be measured. The technique may also be used to calculate saltation flux. The third experience concerns the use of the momentum equation to estimate momentum fluxes by differences. |
