Abstract

Splash erosion of 210–250 μm sand subjected to a drainage suction in splash cups was studied in relation to three variations in the size of drops (2·7, 3·8 and 5·1 mm) impacting at close to their terminal velocity. Splash loss per drop varied with the square of the drop mass. This result indicates that drops of different sizes travelling at terminal velocity may vary more in their ability to cause splash erosion than was previously supposed.
