Description :
This report presents a two-dimensional numerical model of the grain-wind interactive process, which was developed out of the existing one-dimensional model by McEwan (McEwan and Willetts, 1993). The computer program was rewritten to simulate behaviour of the flow and the grain cloud in 2 spatial dimensions (downwind and height) and time. The effects of turbulence were simulated via random fluctuations in the entrainment of particles.
