Abstract
This paper reports on modeling of drifting snow phenomena. It comprises a review of the conditions for a correct simulation of snowdrifting in wind-tunnel or outdoor comparing requirements proposed by four scientists (Kind, 1975, 1985; Iversen, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1984; Anno, 1984, Tabler, 1980). Comparisons of these requirements were based on full-scale measurements, wind tunnel simulation, outdoor modeling with snow or sand.
