Unlike the pier scour in bridge waterways, the local scour at offshore monopile foundations
should take into account the effect of wave-current combination. Under the condition of wave …

This paper presents the spatio-temporal variations in bed elevations and the near-bed
turbulence statistics over the deformed bed generated around the submerged cylindrical …

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 …

The safety of the foundations of submerged hydraulic structures due to excessive local scour
is threatened by the erosive action of the waves and currents passing around these …

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 …

Military activity has resulted in unexploded ordnance (UXO) existing in the nearshore.
Understanding and predicting UXO behavior is important for object identification, and …

This article provides a method by which the scour and self-burial of spherical bodies, short
cylinders, and truncated cones that are induced by bichromatic and bidirectional waves …

Behavior of underwater unexploded ordnance located on the sea bed is poorly understood.
Different types of munitions were tested in the swash and breaker zones of a large-scale …

Unexploded ordnance (UXO, also referred to as munitions) are located in nearshore and
other underwater environments as a result of military activities. UXO have been found in the …

With support from the National Science Foundation, we report on a partnership between an
academic institution (College of William & Mary's Virginia Institute of Marine Science) and an …
