Possible Use of Compressed Air in Snow Protection Applications,

Abstract

Wind tunnel experiments with a model of air snow protection showed that beyond the air barrier -- consisting of successively arranged circular jets -- snow accumulates corresponding to typical snow deposits beyond the lattice protective structures. The action of pneumo-snow protection (air snow protection) and its functionability depend on direction and jet-wind angle of attack. This study is the first stage in developing a new type of snow protection. (Author)
