Research on Prevention of Snow-drifts by Blower Fences
Abstract The mechanism by which blower fences can protect roads from snow-drifts is investigated, and the variation of the drift-free width behind a blower fence with the dimensions and inclination of the fence and with terrain features has been determined. The results are presented in the form of a...

| Summary: | Abstract The mechanism by which blower fences can protect roads from snow-drifts is investigated, and the variation of the drift-free width behind a blower fence with the dimensions and inclination of the fence and with terrain features has been determined. The results are presented in the form of an equation and a nomogram to help in the design of blower fences. |
