Bagnold formula
text:
The Bagnold formula, named after Ralph Alger Bagnold, relates the amount of sand moved by the wind to wind speed by saltation. It states that the mass transport of sand is proportional to the third power of the friction velocity. Under steady conditions, this implies that mass transport is proportional to the third power of the excess of the wind speed over the minimum wind speed that is able to activate and sustain a continuous flow of sand grains. The formula was derived by Bagnold in 1936 and
