Focus on a project

Collision of fluid immersed grains

P. Gondret
Collaborations: T. Chastel, A. Mangruel

The collision of a sphere with a solid wall immersed in a fluid is studied with an interferometric technique to solve the collision process in time (resolution 2 μs) and space (resolution 0.2 μm). The influence of roughness on the collision process is characterized by using controlled microtexture walls. The rebound or not of the sphere can be characterized according to the number of Stokes of collision and the geometric and elastic characteristics of the wall. The detailed modelling of hydrodynamics makes it possible to highlight the viscous dissipation occurring during the collision process.
