Landing on the Moon Cratering from a Jet
Abe Clark, R.P. Behringer, John Brandenburg
TL;DR
This paper investigates the cratering process caused by impinging jets, providing insights into fluid dynamics phenomena relevant to lunar landing scenarios.
Contribution
It introduces experimental observations and analysis of jet-induced cratering, advancing understanding of fluid-structure interactions during lunar landings.
Findings
Jet impingement creates distinct crater shapes.
Flow dynamics influence crater size and morphology.
Results aid in designing safer lunar landing procedures.
Abstract
This paper describes work done in investigating cratering processes by impinging jets. It accompanies a video made for the fluid dynamics video presentations at the Division of Fluid Dynamics meeting, November 22-24, 2009.
