Corrosion of steel in the marine splash-zone.
The effect of the marine splash-zone on corrosion rates of steels BS 4360 43A and 50D, Corten A and pure iron was assessed. Specimens were exposed at coastal and deep water sites as well as being subjected to splash-zone simulation in the laboratory. Gravimetric, microscopic and a variety of …

Analysis of Soil Splash Erosion Under Simulated Rainfall
… regression results, required to initiate soil splash, was dependent upon soil type, with greater clay content soils exhibiting a greater threshold energy. Soil splash rate increased with increasing kinetic energy, with large differences between soils. Soil loss decreased with an increasing soil …

THE EFFECT OF RAIN ON INTERTIDAL ESTUARINE SEDIMENT TRANSPORT (VORTEX RINGS, OXYGENATION, DROP/SPLASH FEATURES, FECAL PELLETS)
<p>Storms are important aperiodic events, which intensify erosional processes over short time periods. The effect of rain on the shallow intertidal water column was the focus of this study. The literature was extensively reviewed to identify parallel research in other scientific disciplines, which …

An investigation of nugget formation and simulation in resistance spot welding
… a nugget of sufficient size is formed without a splash occurring. Complicating the matter further is the industry's increased use of coated steel. The chemical reaction of the coatings with the electrodes cause greater variations in the nugget size. This study seeks to characterize the nugget …

Experimental hydrodynamics of spherical projectiles impacting on a free surface using high speed imaging techniques
… Touvia Miloh [12]. A critical impact speed for splash formation was determined before which no splash cavity would form. The cone angle formed behind an impacting object was also studied. The cone angle was found to be a function of depth and impact speed over the range of impact velocities …

Development of particle-scale simulation methods for multiphase flow study
… impact outcomes including deposition, contact-splash, bounce, and film-splash, were predicted successfully by the present SPH method. Then, the impact process of iso-octane drops on a solid surface under engine relevant conditions were studied. Numerical results show that the splash threshold …
