Erosion of a cohesive granular material by an impinging turbulent jet

Résumé

The erosion of a cohesive soil by an impinging turbulent jet is observed, for instance, during the landing of a spacecraft or involved in the so-called jet erosion test. To provide a quantitative understanding of this situation for cohesive soils, we perform experiments using a model cohesion controlled granular material that allows us to finely tune the cohesion between particles while keeping the other properties constant. We investigate the response of this cohesive granular bed when subjected to an impinging normal turbulent jet. We characterize experimentally the effects of the cohesion on the erosion threshold and the development of the crater. We demonstrate that the results can be rationalized by introducing a cohesive Shields number that accounts for the inter-particles cohesion force. The results of our experiments highlight the crucial role of cohesion in erosion processes.
