Stokes' Cradle: Newton's Cradle with Liquid Coating
C. M. Donahue, C. M. Hrenya, R. H. Davis
Flows involving liquid-coated grains are ubiquitous in nature (pollen capture, avalanches) and industry (air filtration, smoke-particle agglomeration, pharmaceutical mixing). In th…
Stokes' Cradle: Normal Three-Body Collisions between Wetted Particles
C. M. Donahue, C. M. Hrenya, R. H. Davis +3
In this work, a combination of experiments and theory is used to investigate three-body, normal collisions between solid particles with a liquid coating (i.e., "wetted" particles).…
Jet-induced cratering of a granular surface with application to lunar spaceports
Philip T. Metzger, Christopher D. Immer, Carly M. Donahue +3
The erosion of lunar soil by rocket exhaust plumes is investigated experimentally. This has identified the diffusion-driven flow in the bulk of the sand as an important but previou…
