Numerical Simulations of Sediment Transport and Scour around Mines

Abstract

The objective of this research is to verify a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model for the scour of mines in coastal waters with laboratory and field observations. The three-dimensional flow around and scour of partially and unburied mines in the coastal zone is being simulated with a numerical CFD model for both wave and current dominated conditions. The predicted flow and sediment transport models are being verified with laboratory and field observations obtained by collaborators (PI Fernando and Voropayev, Arizona State University; PI Garcia, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne (UIUC); PI Richardson, Naval Research Lab; and PI Howd, University of South Florida).
