Abstract
The Navy s Impact Burial Prediction
Model creates a two-dimensional time
history of a bottom mine as it falls through
air, water, and sediment. The output of the
model is the predicted burial depth of the
mine in the sediment in meters, as well as
height, area and volume protruding. Model
input consists of environmental parameters
and mine characteristics, as well as
parameters describing the mine s release. In
order to determine which parameters had the
greatest effect on the model and which could
be simplified or eliminated, a series of
sensitivity tests were performed. It was
found that the model data ingest could be
greatly simplified without sacrificing
accuracy too much. However, several
parameters including sediment shear
strength were found to have a large effect on
the model.
