Extending the Useful Range of Mine Burial Predictions

Abstract

The capabilities of the SLICE model can complement the SCRIPPS existing suite of mine burial prediction models by extending the applicability to water depths of 30 m and beyond. Inclusion of SLICE would extend the offshore range of the mine burial model by: a) simulating effects of external sediment sources (i.e. longshore convergence, river plume etc.) b) providing time-varying grain size distributions and c) providing predictions of the variable currents needed as input into the SCRIPPS local scour model when measurements are not available. The goal of this project is to combine the SLICE model with the SCRIPPS suite of models to provide the above mentioned enhanced capabilities.
