Experimental Setup for Splash Erosion Monitoring—Study of Silty Loam Splash Characteristics

Application of Polyacrylamide for Splash Erosion Control on Marl Soil

Splash erosion is recognized as the first stage in the process of erosion that results in bombardment of the soil's surface with rain drops. Two basic processes in soil erosion are the dispersement of soil particles by rain drops and the changes caused to the soil's structure, which are then moved by runoff. In this research,the effect of various polyacrylamide (PAM)values (0, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 ...

Splash and anti-splash: observation and design.

We experiment with releasing ethanol droplets, from a specific height, onto both flexible and rigid surfaces. The study of the resulting impact and splashing provides new insights into the mechanisms of the short time-scale dynamics. Tuning and even suppressing a splash can be achieved by the use of elastic membranes with controlled tension. Under certain experimental conditions, i.e., droplet ...

Change of Soil Surface Roughness of Splash Erosion Process

Effect of soil structure breakdown on splash erosion in different soil textures

This study was carried out to investigate the role of soil structure in splash erosion in semi-arid soils. Splash erosion was measured in four soil textures (silty clay loam, sandy clay loam, silt loam and sandy loam) with two soil structure conditions (with natural structure and under aggregate breakdown) using a simulated rainfall with 50 mmh-1 in intensity for 30 min in splash caps with 10-c...

Rendering of Water Splash

We propose a simple method for rendering water splashes occurring on object's surface. Based on the result of having analyzed movies which recorded experiments of dropping waterdrops, we create three types of models of the water splash. The proposed method allows us to do the followings; (1) Generation of the water splash for which the material and the wetting condition of the waterdrop-landing...
