- 요약Spacecraft soft landings on Earth, the Moon, or Mars use retropropulsive rocket engines. These engines unleash a powerful jet of gas onto a loose granular regolith, kicking up vast clouds of dust and rocks. This not only creates visually opaque conditions during descent, but it also carves complex craters in just a few seconds. The situation, typically referred to as plume-surface interactions (PSI), poses a serious threat to lander stability, instrumentation, and the success of future missions.Yet, despite the importance of PSI, the ability to predict or control PSI remains limited. The multiphase fluid dynamics associated with PSI is complex. It involves continuum and supersonic flow within the plume and often a rarefied atmosphere outside of the plume. Inviscid hydrodynamics close to the nozzle, while turbulence-dominated mixing in the recirculation zone near the crater. The disperse phase varies from densely packed regolith to moderate to dilute suspension of ejected material. This makes it challenging to perform experiments or simulations even in a controlled environment.This thesis aims to advance the understanding of PSI by first leveraging data from a recent experimental campaign by NASA under a wide range of nozzle, ambient, and particle conditions. A closed-form, algebraic expression for crater dynamics is obtained by first employing robust image processing tools, followed by a combination of symbolic regression approaches to extract a functional form for the crater dynamics. The remainder of the thesis focuses on the physics-based, high-fidelity numerical simulations.The numerical simulations are conducted within a volume-filtered Euler-Lagrange framework. This method, which was recently extended for compressible flows, accounts for finite-size particles, captures shocks, and incorporates particle-gas coupling. A ghost-point immersed boundary method is used to resolve nozzle geometry on simple Cartesian grids. The classical ghost-point immersed boundary method is advanced to avoid spurious oscillations near sharp corners using a simple approach based on local filtering. A new stability criterion is identified that dictates the simulation timestep size due to interphase momentum exchange that is shown to become more severe as the particle-to-fluid density ratio increases. This is particularly important in Martian and Lunar environments. A sensitivity analysis of two-way coupling with respect to filter size is presented. An efficient approach to reduce self-induced disturbances to increase compatibility for sub-particle-scale models, demonstrating a significant improvement.Two configurations are demonstrated relevant to the PSI conditions. First, simulations of a sonic jet impinging on a granular bed are performed. Simulations and analysis show that the pressure ratio is responsible for the crater morphology. Second, simulations of shear-induced erosion of a granular bed are performed under Martian conditions. Significant two-way coupling is observed with a severe turbulence modulation.To characterize the particle ejecta dynamics and isolate particle disturbances on the gas-phase shock structures, high-fidelity simulations of particle-laden underexpanded jets are performed. Significant distortions in the existing shock structure are observed in the experiments. A semi-analytical model is presented to quantify the extent to which the particles shift the Mach disk, demonstrating good agreement with companion experiments performed at Johns Hopkins University.Special attention is given to understanding the persistent observations of streaks during the Lunar landings, dating back to the Apollo missions (1960s). A mechanism involving Gortler instabilities is shown to be responsible for these streaks. The number of streaks is predicted using landing footage, experimental observations from NASA, and simulations.
