Novel Eulerian Two-Phase Simulations for Burial Dynamics of Munitions

Abstract

We present major results from a one-year SEED project to prepare a high fidelity two-phase numerical modeling framework SedFoam, for simulating scour burial in fluidization (sheet flow) condition, interaction with bedforms, and eventually investigating the effect of munition density. This proof-of-concept research effort is led by the objectives to (1) demonstrate that the Eulerian two-phase model SedFoam provides an effective modeling framework to directly resolve critical processes in scour burial, which cannot be easily achieved by conventional single-phase modeling approach, and (2) implement a few model enhancements for more physical-based closures in SedFoam to simulate processes that may lead to deep burial, namely, fluidization and bedforms.
