Carderock Mine Drop Experiment

Abstract

Mine burial prediction begins with an estimate for the depth of burial resulting from mine impact with the bottom. Recent observations and models suggest that this depth is closely related to the characteristics of the mine flow through the water column. For example, impact angle and velocity are thought to be important parameters. The long term goal of research on this topic is to have the capability to estimate the range of mine fall trajectories and impact conditions that correspond to various mine drop scenarios.
