Abstract:

The bombardment effect of saltating sand particles on the erodible surface is an important mechanism of dust release. It is of great significance to study the aeolian abrasion process and dust release mechanism on the surface of dry lake bed to mitigate the hazards of saline-alkali dust storm. In this paper, samples from mud desert surface of dry lakebed in the West Juyan Lake were collected to conduct laboratory abrasion experiments to study the abrasion effect of sand grains at different impacting angles(30°, 45°, 60°). The results show that: (1) The threshold sand size of erosion and dust release on mud desert surface is medium (0.25 mm<Md<0.50 mm). (2) When the abrasive particle size is the same, the impacting angle exerts effects on the dust release rate of mud desert surface, and the ranking order from higher dust release rate is 60°>30°>45°, but the difference of the dust release rate is not significant under such conditions. (3) When the impacting angle is 45°, the mass erosion rate and energy erosion rate of medium sand, coarse sand and extremely coarse sand on mud desert surface are 0.04 g·kg-1 and 0.43 g·J-1, 0.08 g·kg-1 and 0.74 g·J-1, 0.26 g·kg-1 and 2.54 g·J-1, respectively. When the grain size of sand abrader double increases while remaining the impacting angle, there is no proportional linear change in growth between the dust release rate and energy abrasion rate.
