Studio teorico-sperimentale sull'influenza del diametro dei contenitori nelle misure di erosione da impatto

The knowledge of impact erosion process constitutes an interesting theme research for its implications in many studies such as the seal formation, which results in a rapid drop in the infiltration rate, or the analysis of vegetation cover efficiency on rainfall erosivity. To determine impact erosion two different experimental techniques can be used: receiving or ejecting splash cups. Both experimental techniques, as well as theoretical approaches, showed a dependence of impact soil erosion to the splash cup diameter. In this paper, after a brief review of the main impact soil erosion models, a theoretical model is presented. The model is based on the assumption that the mass of soil eroded …
