Development of New Type Snow Fence with Airfoil Snow plates for Prevention of Blowing-Snow Disasters

摘要

The purpose of the present study was to develop a new snow fence with the airfoil snow plates for the prevention of snowdrifts and improvement of visibility on roadways. The design was in accordance with aerodynamic principles, and its performance was evaluated in a wind tunnel test in which natural snow was used to simulate blowing-snow.
