Scour and Burial of Bottom Mines

Abstract

A process-based model was developed to predict the burial of bottom mines. The model has been validated In field experiments conducted on the near shelf off La Jolla, CA. The model was used by SPAWAR/San Diego to evaluate optimal configurations for a mine neutralization device delivered by marine mammals. The model features a coastal classification system to facilitate model initialization for 7 coastal types.
