Cohesive soil erosion by a low pressure vertically impinging jet: Mass flow excavation

In this study, the excavation process of a low pressure vertical impinging jet in cohesive soil has been investigated. Mass flow excavation is a hydraulic, low pressure, subsea excavation method whereby a large volume flow is applied to the seabed through which the seabed is eroded, and the soil is transported. <br/>The erosion process of a...

Erosion Mechanisms below a vertical plain Jet on a Non-Cohesive Soil Bed

This experimental research is focused on fail mechanisms in non-cohesive soil beneath the jet with a Jet Erosion Test(JET). A vertical plain jet impinges fluid to a sand bed, which causes zero shear stress beneath the jet averaged over time. Many erosion theories would say that no pick-up happen at that point. <br/><br/>E_c=u/(√(H⁄d) √(ΔgD50 ))...
