Auteur :
GHADIRI, H.

Description :
This paper reports on a comprehensive investigation into crater formation in soil, sand, pastes of various simple chemicals and water targets by free-falling water drops of different sizes, heights of fall and fall velocities. This study offers a new approach to rain erosion research in which the behaviour of the raindrop and soil surface as the 2 colliding bodies is considered.
