Abstract
Purpose: The development of snow fences to provide the snow blowing over automobile roads to protect them from drifted snow.
Methodology/approach: Computer simulation in SOLIDWORKS Flow Simulation of snow fences to study their operation. Discussion of issues related to estimating the composition, velocity, and motion of snow particles in drifted snow. Comparative analysis of different types of snow fences installed along road sections.
Research findings: The main purpose and operations conditions are determined for snow fences on automobile roads. Design modifications and efficiency factors of snow fences are studied herein.
Value: It is shown that the use of snow fences has a positive effect on winter road maintenance.
