Wear Mechanism of Abrasive Gas Jet Erosion on a Rock and the Effect of Abrasive Hardness on It

Figure 8

Flow field structure and velocity distribution of the abrasive gas jets during erosion of the rock.
(a) The abrasive just reaches the rock surface
(b) The abrasive at the axis begins to rebound after eroding the rock
(c) The complete process of the formation of the erosion pit
