Erosion threshold of a liquid immersed granular bed by an impinging plane liquid jet
Résumé
Erosion threshold of a model granular bed by a jet in a quasi bidimensional configuration has been studied experimentally in both laminar and turbulent regimes. The jet is a liquid sheet which impinges normally a packing of immersed beads monodisperse in size and density. The erosion threshold has been characterized at different impact distances of the jet on the sediment and for different grain size and fluid viscosity. In the explored range of parameters, we show that the erosion threshold iswell described by a critical inertial Shields number based on the local flow velocity at the impinging point. This has been done by a careful analysis of the different jet flow regimes taking into account the position of the virtual origin of the jet.
