Figure 6

Distribution of sand accumulation rates at various heights on the artificial gravel bed under different initial wind speeds.

(a1) Variations in sand accumulation rates (g/(min·m)) at various heights on a medium gravel (2–4 cm) bed with coverage of 30% under different initial wind speeds (6 m/s, 8 m/s, 10 m/s, 12 m/s and 14 m/s). (a2) On a medium gravel (2–4 cm) bed with coverage of 40%. (b1) On a large gravel (4–6 cm) bed with coverage of 30%. (b2) On a large gravel (4–6 cm) bed with coverage of 40%.
