Silting of Capillary Flow Passages due to Solid Particles (2nd Report, Experiment 2).

Supersonic air flow due to solid-liquid impact.

A solid object impacting on liquid creates a liquid jet due to the collapse of the impact cavity. Using visualization experiments with smoke particles and multiscale simulations, we show that in addition, a high-speed air jet is pushed out of the cavity. Despite an impact velocity of only 1 m/s, this air jet attains supersonic speeds already when the cavity is slightly larger than 1 mm in diame...
