In recent years, a general qualitative understanding has been reached about the major pathways of material migration in divertor tokamaks. Main chamber wall components have been identified as the major source of material erosion. The eroded material is tra ...
We have used powder blasting as a technique to structure brittle materials like glass using an erosion resistant mask. The study of the erosion rate shows that the erosion of glass is maximum at a normal incidence of the powder beam while the erosion rate ...
In the urban environment, stormwater detention basins are a powerful means to limit the frequency of sewer system failures and consecutive urban flooding. To design such waterworks or to check their efficiency, it is possible to carry out continuous rainfa ...

Experimental results are presented of the mean flow and turbulence characteristics in the near field of a plane wall jet issuing from a nozzle onto flat and concave walls consisting of fixed sand beds. This is a flow configuration of interest for sediment ...
In a recent paper by Polyakov and Nearing (2003) it was shown experimentally that the sediment transport capacity in a rill is not unique for a given soil type, slope, and flow rate. Indeed, they found that the transport capacity was dependent on whether s ...
An approximate analytical solution is obtained for a physically based model of soil erosion on a gentle slope driven by rainfall impact in which there is inflow of clear or nearly clear water to the top of the soil bed. Comparison of the approximate analyt ...
We report on powder blasting as a promising technology for the three-dimensional structuring of brittle materials. We investigate the basic parameters of this process, which is based on the erosion of a masked substrate by a high-velocity eroding powder be ...
Three different methods of cavitation erosion measurement are compared and correlated with weight loss rates in two cavitation set-ups: a high-pressure cavitation jet producing a high repetition rate of a wide range of impact intensities and a single vorte ...
