Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

The equation of motion of soil particles in an inhomogeneous electrostatic field has been considered and solved numerically. The factors determining the rate at which particles are carried away from the field have been established. It is shown that the processes of the carrying away of particles in the electrostatic field and under the action of the air flow have analogs. The theory is intended to substantiate the rapid method of determination of the predisposition of soils to wind erosion under natural conditions.
