Research Areas
Long-term attention has been paid to the particle movement under the influence of boundary layer flow and related geomorphic evolution, environmental pollution, climate change, aeolian sand disaster prevention and control. My research work involves the dynamic processes of surface particles initiation/release, transport, deposition/settlement, etc. I am familiar with various research methods and methods such as wind tunnel experiment, field observation, numerical simulation and theoretical analysis. For many years, we have been committed to the study of the movement of wind-sand (dust) two-phase flow. We have carried out basic experiments, data processing methods, basic theoretical modelling and quantitative analysis, effectively revealed the mechanical mechanism of dust release and settlement and innovated the theoretical framework and research means of gas-sand (dust) two-phase flow. At the same time, we also focused on the issuers of desertification expansion, dust storms, wind blowing snow and avalanche disasters prevention measures and its optimization design. Based on a large number of researches, we promote the application of scientific research achievements to related engineering, for the prevention and control of desertification in China, for ecological environment protection engineering, for railway disaster prevention and control of engineering design. More than 40 academic papers have been published in Science Bulletin, Atmos. Chem. Phys., Geophysical Research Letters and other internationally recognized academic journals.
Recently, We maintained close academic exchanges with Prof. Yaping Shao and his team from University of Cologne (Germany), Professor Hans Herrmann and his team from the School of Industrial Physics and Chemistry in Paris (France), Prof. Abbas Soroush and his team from Amir Kabir University of Technology (Iran) and Professor Michael Lehning and his team fr
