Abstract
A coupled Delft3D and underwater munition scour burial (UnMUSB) model has been developed and evaluated to assess sea-floor environment as well as munitions’ migration and burial. The UnMUSB is a user-friendly physical based software written in MATLAB to help remediation management of the underwater munitions. This user guide documents the progress made in development of UnMUSB with coupling to the well-established Delft3D for nearshore environment during the project MR19-C1-1073 contract period (2019-2022), and includes a guide for detail and usage of UnMUSB with connection to Delft3D. The usage of coupled Deft3D-UnMUSB was demonstrated using the TREX13 data collected in the northern coastal region of the Gulf of Mexico near Panama City during the SERDP project MR-2320.
