Suction of splash after impact on dry quick sand

چکیده
It is well known that a splash occurs when an object impacts at high velocity on a liquid’s surface. If the impact is fast enough, surface tension and air pressure gradients pull the crown-shape splash all the way towards the axis of symmetry, making it to collapse and seal the surface. In this paper we show that splash and surface sealing are also observed in impacts on soft, dry sand. We observe influence of air pressure and grains size on the shape of the splash. By tracking individual grains using high-speed imaging we calculate their acceleration, which results from gravity and drag forces. Assuming friction drag parallel, and pressure drag perpendicular to the direction of motion of grains we estimate the friction and pressure drag contributions to the drag force. Our results support the idea that pressure drag from Bernoulli effect is at the origin of the surface seal.

Prediction of the soil-water characteristic curve of dune sand stabilized with SBR polymer and MICP process in the Jabal Kandi area
Introduction The geotechnical engineering problems involving unsaturated soils are included water flow, shear strength and volume change. Soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) describes the constitutive relationship between soil suction and soil water content. SWCC may be determined directly or indirectly in the laboratory. Because of the various difficulties involved in the direct measuremen...
متن کاملGas influence in drop impact on dry solid substrates
A numerical study by the code GERRIS of drop impact onto a solid surface is presented. It is shown that under the incompressible assumption, drop impact can still perform different behaviors by changing the density or viscosity of surrounding gas, the splash can be suppressed for small gas density or viscosity and a no-vertical frontier exists between splash and non-splash. It is suggested that...

Splash erosion is one of the most important water erosion types, causing initiation of other types of water erosion. The objective of this study is to model the splash erosion using fuzzy logic approach in part of northern Karoon basin. The major land usage in the area are irrigated farming, dry land farming, pasture and degraded pasture. For the purposes of this study, soil properties includin...

This paper describes triaxial compression tests conducted to determine the effect of fiber inclusion on stiffness and deformation characteristics of sand-gravel mixtures. Tested soil was a mixture of Babolsar sand from the shores of the Caspian Sea and Karaj River gravel. Portland cement was used as the cementing agent and fibers 12mm in length and 0.023mm in diameter at 0%, 0.5% and 1.0% were ...
متن کاملSplash 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 ...
