Validating N-body code Chrono for granular DEM simulations in reduced-gravity environments
Cecily Sunday, Naomi Murdoch, Simon Tardivel +2
The Discrete Element Method (DEM) is frequently used to model complex granular systems and to augment the knowledge that we obtain through theory, experimentation, and real-world o…
An experimental study of low-velocity impacts into granular material in reduced gravity
Naomi Murdoch, Iris Avila Martinez, Cecily Sunday +4
In order to improve our understanding of landing on small bodies and of asteroid evolution, we use our novel drop tower facility to perform low-velocity (2-40 cm s^-1), shallow imp…
A novel facility for reduced-gravity testing: a set-up for studying low-velocity collisions into granular surfaces
Cecily Sunday, Naomi Murdoch, Olivier Cherrier +6
This work presents an experimental design for studying low-velocity collisions into granular surfaces in low-gravity. In the experiment apparatus, reduced-gravity is simulated by r…
