Studies of Mine Burial in Coastal Environments

Abstract

The U.S. Navy needs reliable predictive capabilities for mine burial in shallow coastal environments in support of developing doctrine algorithms for mine countermeasures (MCM). The long-term goal of our research program is to improve scientific knowledge pertinent to fluid dynamic and sedimentary processes related to the burial of mines with the hope of significantly improving the predictive capabilities of MCM operations. The main focus is non-walking ship mines of cylindrical shape placed in the coastal shoaling zone. Theoretical, laboratory experimental and numerical tools will be employed in the studies.
