Munition Mobility in Mixed Grain (Sand, Gravel, Cobble) Environments

Abstract

The primary objective of the proposed work was to classify and compare the vulnerability of munition migration, exposure, and burial between 100% pure homogeneous beaches (sand or cobble) to two mixed grain beach compositions with varying sand to cobble ratios. Within this goal were three subobjectives:-Test munition mobility, exposure, and burial response to swash bore impact on laboratory scale mixed grain beach compositions (30% cobble and 50% cobble) and compare results to purely sand and cobble experiments.-Test three surrogate types similar in shape, density, diameter, and length to those residing in the nearshore munition contaminated FUD environments.-For each beach composition and munition type, experimentally and numerically determine the influence of beach state (mild, intermediate, and steep) on swash velocities and corresponding impact to munition mobility.
