Sediment Liquefaction Around an Object on the Seafloor

Abstract

The long-term goal of the project is to correlate the generation of wave-induced liquefaction to wave and current conditions, to estimate the scale of liquefied sediment in seafloor, and finally to predict the sinking of heavy objects, e.g. mines into seafloor.
