One of the most noticeable collective motion of non-cohesive granular matter is clustering under certain conditions. In particular, when a quasi-two-dimensional monolayer of mono-disperse non-cohesive particles is vertically vibrated, a solid-liquid-like transition occurs when the driving amplitude exceeds a critical value. Here, the physical mechanism underlying particle clustering relies on the strong interactions mediated by grain collisions, rather than on grain-grain cohesive forces. In average, the solid cluster resembles a drop, with a striking circular shape. We experimentally investigate the coarse-grained solid-liquid interface fluctuations, which are characterized through the static and dynamic correlation functions in the Fourier space. These fluctuations turn out to be well described by the capillary wave theory, which allows us to measure the solid-liquid interface surface tension and mobility once the granular "thermal" kinetic energy is determined. Despite the system is strongly out of equilibrium and that the granular temperature is not uniform, there is energy equipartition at the solid-liquid interface, for a relatively large range of angular wave-numbers. Furthermore, both surface tension and mobility are consistent with a simple order of magnitude estimation considering the characteristic energy, length and time scales, which is very similar to what can be done for atomic systems.

This contribution tackles the issue of incipient conditions for initiation of erosion by a fluid flow at the surface of cohesive materials. To this end, a typical assessment procedure consists of subjecting a soil sample to progressive hydrodynamic stresses induced by a submerged impinging jet flow whose injection velocity is gradually increased. This paper presents the results of an extensive use of this protocol both in experiments and numerical simulations, the latter being based on a coupled DEM and LBM approach. Here we consider the specific case of weakly cemented soils, either made experimentally of glass beads bonded by solid bridges or modelled numerically by a solid bond rheology with a parabolic yield condition involving the micromechanical traction, shearing and bending of the bonds. The results show that, as expected, the hydrodynamic stress for erosion onset substantially increases with solid cohesion as compared to cohesionless cases but can, however, be satisfactorily predicted by a simple extension of the usual Shields criterion that only applies for cohesion-less granular sediments. This extension includes a cohesion number, the granular Bond number, with a simple definition based on tensile yield values.

Physics ,QC1-999 - Abstract
We experimentally investigated cohesion of artificially bonded granular materials made of spherical glass beads cemented by solid paraffin bonds. By means of laboratory tests designed and carried out for investigation at different scales, we measured the tensile yield strength for solid bonds both at the inter-particle micro-scale and cemented samples at the meso-scale. A parametric study has been performed by varying some of the granular material properties (bead diameter, paraffin content as well as the dimension of the sample for the meso-scale tensile tests. We finally propose a discusion on: (i) the relationship between the microscopic and macroscopic cohesion forces relying on classical homogenisation laws ; (ii) the potential impact of size effects based on a simple phenomenological model.

Physics ,QC1-999 - Abstract
Here we investigate the physical mechanisms behind the surface erosion of a cohesive granular soil induced by an impinging jet by means of numerical simulations coupling fluid and grains at the microscale. The 2D numerical model combines the Discrete Element and Lattice Boltzmann methods (DEM-LBM) and accounts for the granular cohesion with a contact model featuring a paraboloidal yield surface. Here we review first the hydrodynamical conditions imposed by the fluid jet on a solid granular packing, turning then the attention to the impact of cohesion on the erosion kinetics. Finally, the use of an additional subcritical debonding damage model based on the work of Silvani and co-workers provides a novel insight into the internal solicitation of the cohesive granular sample by the impinging jet.

Physics ,QC1-999 - Abstract
We focus here on the major and always topical issue of soil erosion by fluid flows, and more specifically on the determination of both a critical threshold for erosion occurrence and a kinetics that specifies the rate of eroded matter entrainment. A synthetic state-of-the-art is first proposed with a critical view on the most commonly used methods and erosion models. It is then discussed an alternative strategy, promoting the use of model materials that allow systematic parametric investigations with the purpose of first identifying more precisely the local mechanisms responsible for soil particle erosion and second ultimately quantifying both critical onsets and kinetics, possibly through existing or novel empirical erosion laws. Finally, we present and discuss several examples following this methodology, implemented either by means of experiments or numerical simulations, and coupling erosion tests in several particular hydrodynamical configurations with wisely selected mechanical tests.

Physics ,QC1-999 - Abstract
Using a recently developed 2D numerical modelling that combines Discrete Element (DEM) and Lattice Boltzmann methods (LBM), we simulate the destabilisation by an hydraulic gradient of a cohesive granular soil clogging the top of an underground conduit. We aim to perform a multi-scale study that relates the grain scale behavior to the macroscopic erosion process. In particular, we study the influence of the flow conditions and the inter-particle contact forces intensity on the erosion kinetic.

- Abstract
Natural soil deposits such as carbonate sands in the marine environment may show an effective cohesion due to intergranular solid bridges formed by calcareous precipitation. Such cementation effect endows the granular material with the ability to resist some degree of tensile stress in addition to the compressive and shearing resistance proper of uncemented frictional sands. tensile resistance of such materials may be quantified based on measures of debonding force at the micro-scale and using appropriate homogenization techniques. However, it is still a challenge to assess the influence of solid intergranular cohesion on the mechanical behaviour of soils in many practical engineering problems. Recent advances both in computational hardware and parallelization strategies make it nowadays possible to address such problems from a micromechanical perspective. Here we introduce a simple model for solid cohesion and its implementation within a 3D discrete element framework. The model involves a classical viscoelastic bond rheology and specific debonding modes for tensile, shearing, bending and torsional solicitations. We finally present a calibration of the model to match experimental data from an artificial granular soil made out of cemented glass beads and a validation of the approach with a macro-mechanical application.

This thesis presents an experimental study on the drop impact of yield-stress fluids. Beyond applications (solid ink-jet printing, lab modelling of high-speed collision of solids), this study offers a mean to probe the role of the elasticity on the short-time behaviour of these complex fluids. We have first studied drop impacts on solid rigid surfaces. Using different model yield-stress fluids (clay suspensions, Carbopol micro-gel) and impacted surfaces (partially wettable, super-hydrophobic), we have observed a rich variety of behaviours ranging from irreversible viscoplastic coating to giant elastic spreading and recoil. A minimal model of inertial spreading, including an elasto/viscoplastic rheology, allows explaining in a single framework the different regimes and scaling laws. In this study, we identified a specific phenomenon with Carbopol: for large impact velocities, the drop spreads much more on rough hydrophobic surfaces than on smooth surfaces. This apparent reduction of the basal friction is discussed in terms of slip length and splash instability. Endly, we investigated the impact of a drop onto a pool of the same fluid, using a transparent yield-stress fluid (Carbopol). The combination of scaling laws, micro-gravity experiments and local deformation measurements shows that the transient crater is dominated by elasticity, even beyond the flow threshold. These results could have implications for impact cratering in Planetary Sciences., Cette thèse présente une étude expérimentale de l'impact de gouttes de fluides à seuil. Au-delà des applications (impression à jet d'encre solide, modélisation d'impact solide à grandes vitesses), cette étude permet de sonder le rôle de l'élasticité sur le comportement à temps court de ces fluides complexes. D'abord, nous nous sommes intéressés aux impacts sur une surface rigide. L'utilisation de fluides à seuil modèles (solutions concentrées d'argiles, micro-gel de Carbopol) et de surfaces d'impact variées (partiellement mouillante ou super-hydrophobe), révèle une grande variété de comportements, allant de l'étalement viscoplastique irréversible jusqu'à des déformations élastiques géantes. Un modèle minimal d'étalement inertiel, incluant une rhéologie élasto/viscoplastique, permet de décrire dans un cadre unique les principaux régimes observés. Au cours de cette étude, nous avons mis en évidence un phénomène spécifique avec le Carbopol : pour des grandes vitesses d'impact, on observe un étalement beaucoup plus grand sur des surfaces rugueuses hydrophobes que sur des surfaces lisses. Cette réduction apparente du frottement basal est discutée en termes de longueur de glissement et d'instabilité de " splash ". Enfin, nous avons étudié l'impact d'une goutte de fluide sur un sol constitué du même fluide, en utilisant un fluide à seuil transparent (Carbopol). La combinaison de lois d'échelle, d'expériences en " micro-gravité " et de mesures locales du champ de déformation montre que la dynamique du cratère transitoire est dominée par l'élasticité, même au-delà du seuil d'écoulement. Ces résultats pourraient avoir des implications dans le contexte des impacts de météorites en astrophysique.

Colloque avec actes et comité de lecture. Internationale.; International audience; L’érosion induite par les écoulements gravitaires rapides de fluides complexes, tels que les laves torrentielles ou les avalanches, reste très mal comprise à l’heure actuelle. Une spécificité de ces écoulements naturels est que, le plus souvent, le matériau composant le substratum présente des propriétés mécaniques similaires à celles du matériau qui s’écoule (boue/boue, neige/neige). Notre étude propose de mettre en œuvre des fluides à seuil pour modéliser à la fois l’écoulement érodant et le substratum érodé. L’originalité de notre approche consiste à appréhender le processus d’érosion en termes de transition solide-fluide. L’hydrodynamique d’érosion étudiée est l’écoulement dans un canal incliné d’un fluide à seuil modèle sur une couche épaisse du même fluide possédant une contrainte seuil égale ou supérieure à celle de la coulée. Dans cette étude expérimentale, nous utilisons un micro-gel polymère (Carbopol) choisi pour sa rhéologie élasto-viscoplastique et pour sa propriété transparente, nécessaire à l’application de techniques de visualisation interne telle que la Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). Notre démarche est de combiner la caractérisation fine au rhéomètre des propriétés rhéologiques du fluide à seuil (loi de Hershel-Bulkley), à l’observation de l’évolution morphologique du système substratum/écoulement et à la mesure locale des paramètres hydrodynamiques, pour investiguer les mécanismes physiques dominants dans le phénomène d’érosion. L’objectif est notamment de relier la loi d’érosion, à l’interface substratum/écoulement, avec la loi de comportement du fluide complexe en jeu, afin d’affiner celle-ci au voisinage de la transition entre le régime solide quasi-statique et le régime liquide.
