Impact on soft sand: void collapse and jet formation.
Very fine sand is prepared in a well-defined and fully decompactified state by letting gas bubble through it. After turning off the gas stream, a steel ball is dropped on the sand. On impact of the ball, sand is blown away in all directions ("splash") and an impact crater forms. When this cavity collapses, a granular jet emerges and is driven straight into the air. A second jet goes downwards i...
متن کاملA Model of Void Formation
We introduce a simple model for the formation of voids. In this model the underdensity of galaxies in voids is the product of two factors. The first arises from a gravitational expansion of the negative density perturbation. The second is due to biasing: galaxies are less likely to form in an underdense region. One feature of the model is an upper cutoff in void sizes. We calculate the volume f...
متن کاملEffect of finite container size on granular jet formation.
When an object is dropped into a bed of fine, loosely packed sand, a surprisingly energetic jet shoots out of the bed. In this work we study the effect that boundaries have on the granular jet formation. We did this by (i) decreasing the depth of the sand bed and (ii) reducing the container diameter to only a few ball diameters. These confinements change the behavior of the ball inside the bed,...
متن کاملHigh-speed jet formation after solid object impact.
A circular disc hitting a water surface creates an impact crater which after collapse leads to a vigorous jet. Upon impact an axisymmetric air cavity forms and eventually pinches off in a single point halfway down the cavity. Two fast sharp-pointed jets are observed shooting up- and downwards from the closure location, which by then has turned into a stagnation point surrounded by a locally hyp...
متن کاملPulsational mode of gravitational collapse and its impact on the star formation
The gravitational condensation of a collapsing dust mass is always inhibited by the acoustic viscosity, restricting thereby the unstable scale size. In this paper we show that, if some of the dust particles (in the collapsing mass) are ionised due to plasma environment, a new mode of Jeans condensation namely the Pulsational Mode of the Gravitational Collapse (PMGC) seems to be a likely phenome...
