Hydrodynamic Design of a Dead Weight Anchor Device Optimized for Station Keeping and Suppression of Subsequent Burial on Sedimentary Beds in Coastal Environments

Abstract

Simulations of station keeping and burial of a dead weight anchor device were performed using the Vortex Lattice Mine Burial/Migration Model (VORTEX). The VORTEX model was developed at Scripps Institution of Oceanography under previous ONR funding, (Inman and Jenkins, 2002; Jenkins and Inman 2002, Jenkins and Wasyl 2006). This model has been validated in field experiments conducted under ONR's Mine Burial Program.
