Linked VORTEX Model for Mine Burial Prediction

Abstract

The long-term goal is to perfect our process-based model for the prediction of scour and burial of mines deployed in the shallow waters of the global coastal zone; and to use this model to develop principles of scour/burial mechanics with general application to the nearshore, as well as perfect mine burial procedures that can be used by the fleet. We are presently pursuing these goals by expanding the physics and validation of the model to treat mine burial as a global problem using a hierarchy of interactive inputs for both mine type and coastal type.
