Drag Coefficient for a Circular Obstacle in a Quasi-Two-Dimensional Dilute Supersonic Granular Flow

Résumé

The measurement of the drag coefficient of a dilute granular flow around a cylinder is carried out over a wide range of Knudsen numbers. The variation of this coefficient shows a smooth transition from a freely falling grains regime to a continuous flow regime. This is reminiscent of the behavior of gases in the supersonic regime. This transition is accompanied by remarkable changes of the density and velocity profiles near the cylinder. A simple model is proposed for the transition regime which is in agreement with the experimental measurements.
