Additional information
Granular jetting occurs when a solid sphere impacts the surface of a granular bed – the collapse of the cavity following penetration gives rise to a high speed vertical jet. Under certain circumstances this is followed by a thicker, slower jet. In exploring the factors that affect jet formation and attempting to explain the observations, the paper gives useful insight into the complex rheology of granular systems and for the first time, how this is affected by packing fraction and aeration. The student (Marston) has continued on this topic via a collaboration with KAUST (Saudi Arabia).
