Abstract
The objectives of this project were: (i) to develop a model for underwater munition's mobility and burial (UnMUMB), (ii) to use SERDP field experimental data to
explore seafloor environment characteristics such as liquefaction, sand wave migration and deep scour, (iii) to develop new methodology for deep scour burial, (iv) to
use Delft3D to predict complex seafloor environment, (v) to develop a coupled Delft3D and wave induced liquefaction model to predict sandy seafloor morphological
change, (vi) to develop a coupled Delft3D-UnMUMB model to predict under water munitions’ mobility and burial as well as the change of
the environment, and (vii) to provide the model formulations with User’s Guide to SERDP investigators such as to whom working on a more sophisticated Underwater
Munitions Expert System (UnMES) as well as to the larger SERDP, DoD, coastal engineering, and scientific communities via six peer-reviewed journal articles and the
User’s Guide for the coupled Delft3D-UnMUMB model.
