Experimental study of clusters in dense granular gas and implications for the particle stopping time in protoplanetary disks
Niclas Schneider, Grzegorz Musiolik, Jonathan E. Kollmer +6
In protoplanetary disks, zones of dense particle configuration promote planet formation. Solid particles in dense clouds alter their motion through collective effects and back reac…
Destruction of eccentric planetesimals by ram pressure and erosion
Tunahan Demirci, Niclas Schneider, Jens Teiser +1
Small, pebble-sized objects and large bodies of planetesimal size both play important roles in planet formation. They form the evolutionary steps of dust growth in their own respec…
Accretion of eroding pebbles and planetesimals in planetary envelopes
Tunahan Demirci, Gerhard Wurm
Wind erosion is a destructive mechanism that completely dissolves a weakly bound object like a planetesimal into its constituent particles, if the velocity relative to the ambient…
Planetesimals in Rarefied Gas: Wind Erosion in Slip Flow
Tunahan Demirci, Niclas Schneider, Tobias Steinpilz +3
A planetesimal moves through the gas of its protoplanetary disc where it experiences a head wind. Though the ambient pressure is low, this wind can erode and ultimately destroy the…
ARISE: A granular matter experiment on the International Space Station
Tobias Steinpilz, Grzegorz Musiolik, Maximilian Kruss +8
We developed an experiment to study different aspects of granular matter under microgravity. The 1.5U small experiment was carried out on the International Space Station. About 350…
Wind erosion on Mars and other small terrestrial planets
Maximilian Kruss, Grzegorz Musiolik, Tunahan Demirci +2
We carried out wind tunnel experiments on parabolic flights with 100 m Mojave Mars simulant sand. The experiments result in shear stress thresholds and erosion rates for varying…
