Forecasting Scour Related Mine Burial Using a Parameterized Model
Abstract
A major goal of the ONR Mine Burial Prediction (MBP) Program is to provide the operational Navy a prototype model for forecasting mine burial which works with a known and useful degree of accuracy in regions of strategic interest, defined initially as sandy inner shelves dominated by waves. In order to be useful under real world conditions, such a model must be reasonably accurate and reliable but also simple and fast enough to execute in a practical, straightforward manner by the Fleet. Thus it must parameterize the complicated and computationally intensive details of localized mine scour. In response to the above needs of the operational Navy, the long-term goal of this project is to demonstrate the practical utility of forecasting scour related mine burial using a simple parameterized model forced by readily available wave, wind and tidal forecasts.
