Laboratory experiments were conducted to examine mobility and burial of objects, including
onset of motion on a rigid bottom, scour burial into a sand bed, and the interplay between …

Factors that influence equilibrium, scour-induced burial depth (B) in sand relative to object
diameter (D) are examined through analysis of over 750 observations. The main factors that …

A simple parameterized model for wave-induced burial of mine-like cylinders as a function of
grain-size, time-varying, wave orbital velocity and mine diameter was implemented and …

A process-based, numerical, hydrodynamic vortex lattice mine scour/burial model (VORTEX)
is presented that simulates scour and burial of objects of arbitrary shape resting on a …

Self-burial processes of finite-length cylinders under oscillatory flows and waves plus
currents were examined with the following two different experimental facilities: a large …

Naval mines have been in use for over 200 years. They are a cheap and effective way to
significantly affect naval operations. Bottom mines in shallow water are particularly difficult to …

A mine burial field experiment was carried out on two sandy seafloors between January and
April 2004 in the Bay of Brest, France. Burial recording mines (BRMs) were used to measure …

The burial evolution of a tapered cylinder (with diameter D) after deep localized scouring
was observed with sonar imagery during an energetic wave event off the coast of Panama …

Wave-induced boundary layer (BL) flows over sandy rippled bottoms are studied using a
numerical model that applies a one-way coupling of a" far-field" inviscid flow model to a" …

During the past several years, the Environmental Fluid Dynamics Group at Arizona State
University (ASU, Tempe, AZ) conducted a comprehensive laboratory-based research …
