Abstract  The streamwise sand transport rate, also known as wind-blown sand transport rate, is a vital parameter in wind-blown sand flux. Based on numerical simulation of the wind-blown sand saltation with the sand electrification, the streamwise sand transport rates are calculated in this paper. By analyzing the results, a predicting model for wind-blown sand transport rate is established, which is a function of particle diameter, wind velocity and the electrical charge. The predicted mass transport rates agree well with those predicted by many other models as the parameter of charge-to-mass ratio is set to be in the range of (-160 μc·kg-1, 0 μc·kg-1), implying that sand electrification may be one of the reasons of discrepancy among models.
Key words:  streamwise sand transport rate      predicting model      charge-to-mass ratio      numerical simulation
