The knowledge on the jet production is very scarse for larger particles (larger than 1.5mm). This knowledge starts with a good model for the erosion velocity of grains. Nowadays, only models are validated up to a mean particle diameter of 1.5mm. To give a better funded base for extrapolating the existing models to larger rock sizes, scaled tests are executed. The results of these scale tests are then compared to existing models. It is concluded that extrapolating existing theories can be done.
