In:
Geological magazine : Vol. 90 Iss. 1-6 Year. 1953Summary: Abstract
After establishing average velocity of wind/average porosity curve for wind deposited sands, where it was shown that low wind velocity produces higher porosity than high wind velocity, further investigation was made and sands of various characteristics were used. It was established that the velocity of wind/porosity of deposit relationship is a more complicated function than was previously expected and some of the reasons are explained. The first indication of the influence of shape of the grain and the specific gravity of grains on the obtained results is registered. Further steps in the research are indicated.
