Erosion and sand transport have a negative effect both in the “active area” in which it occurs and outside it, not being a strictly defined phenomenon. The present paper deals with the problems due to the erosion of soils by wind, and the way of diminishing this phenomenon by using some protective textile screens placed transversely to the wind direction. The aim of the paper is to provide numerical contributions on wind interaction with permeable soil protection obstacles. For concrete data, a number of numerical simulations of the air flow in the atmospheric boundary layer area was carried out, in the presence of a wind barrier having different degrees of permeability, depending on the textile used, for the determination of the speed upstream and downstream of the obstacle. The program used for the numerical simulation is ANSYS FluentTM, a computational fluid dynamics software that uses a variety of equations for the modelling of fluid flow. The results obtained will be used as a basis for further research, based on scaled textile barriers models for physical experiments in the aerodynamic tunnel.
