Predicting the Mobility and Burial of Underwater Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) using the UXO Mobility Model. Field Test Report (PMRF Barking Sands, Kauai, Hawaii)

Abstract

A process-based underwater unexploded ordinance (UXO) Mobility Model (MM) was developed and exercised with field measurements obtained at two separate offshore sites in a biogenic reef environment off the west coast of the island of Kauai, HI, at the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF), Barking Sands. The MM was used to generate hydrodynamic forcing, UXO migration, and UXO burial simulations that were in general agreement with the ensemble results from 24 inert surrogate 5?/38 projectiles that were monitored between 13 February and 27 June 2007.
