Abstract

In this paper we introduce a correlation for the trajectories of sand jets, of a non-cohesive granular material, emerging from vertical sidewall orifices of diameter D and wall thickness w. A contrast with water jet in similar configurations has been performed. We found that the theoretical trajectories agree well with the experimental ones.
