Coupled Ensemble Seafloor Environment and 6-DOF (CESE6D) Model for Assessing Characteristics of Munitions Underwater and Their Environment
Abstract
The objective is to develop an effective, user friendly Munition Response (MR) community model based on coupling 6-DOF with sea-floor environment to assess the environment and to predict the munitions' mobility. Since munitions burial and mobility vary under various environment characteristics such as sediment types, sea floor morphology, and hydrodynamic conditions, timely prediction of sea-floor environment and munitions' mobility including its location and burial is crucial. We performed the following tasks: (1) analyzing SERDP MR data (TREX13) to characterize the environment in which munitions' burial and mobility were recorded from the SERDP MR-2320, (2) developing a 6DoF model to predict munitions' burial and mobility, and (3) implementing the Delft3D for the northern coastal region of the Gulf of Mexico near Panama City during the TREX13 period.
