The coefficient of restitution (COR) represents the fraction of pre-collision kinetic energy remained after the collision between two bodies. The COR parameter plays an important role in the discrete numerical analysis of granular flows or the design of protective barriers to reduce flow energy. This work investigated the COR for grain-block type impacts through comprehensive experiments using a custom-built impact loading apparatus. Glass balls of three different sizes were used as grains. The impact experiments were performed on three different types of materials as base blocks, namely brass, granite and rubber. Experiments on the brass block showed a decrease in COR values with increasing grain size. On the contrary, impacts on granite and rubber blocks showed an increase in COR values with increasing grain size. Additionally, the effect of surface roughness on the COR was investigated. It was revealed that the increase in surface roughness of either the grain or the block reduced the COR values due to the increased plastic deformations of surface asperities.

Cryogen spray cooling is an auxiliary procedure to dermatologic laser surgery, which consists of precooling the superficial skin layer (epidermis) during laser irradiation of subsurface targets to avoid nonspecific epidermal thermal damage. While previous studies have investigated the interaction of cryogen sprays with microscopically smooth human skin models, it is important to recognize that real human skin surface is far from smooth. With the objective to provide physical insight into the interaction between cryogen sprays and human skin, we study the effect of surface roughness on the impact dynamics of single cryogen droplets falling on skin models of various roughnesses (0.5–70μm). We first develop a theoretical model to predict the maximum spread diameter (Dm) following droplet impingement based on a similarity approximation to the solution of a viscous boundary layer that incorporates friction as the major source of viscous dissipation on a rough surface. Then, we measure the droplet diameter, impact velocity, and Dm of cryogen droplets falling by gravity onto skin models. Experimental data prove that the proposed model predicts Dm with good accuracy, suggesting that the effects of surface roughness and friction on Dm are properly taken into account for the range of surface roughness studied herein.

In this study, the effect of the roughness parameter during the peristaltic transport of a Newtonian fluid in a nonuniform channel has been explored. The motivation of this study comes from various research studies in the area of life sciences and engineering, which reveal that the wall of living beings’ arteries and all other surfaces have roughness to some extent. As peristalsis is a major mode of transporting biological fluids in various organs, the effect of surface roughness during peristaltic flow becomes very significant. The problem of peristaltic motion of a Newtonian fluid through a rough nonuniform channel having sinusoidal-shaped roughness has been investigated in the current work. To analyze the flow, analytic formulation of pressure rise, friction force, velocity, and pressure gradient has been carried out under the low Reynolds number and long-wavelength approximation. Results obtained for zero surface roughness from the current model are in complete agreement with previous studies available in the literature that have been carried out without considering the surface roughness of the wall. Numerical outcomes for the properties mentioned above have been plotted for analyzing the impact of roughness on the physical and flow parameters.
