Surface Water Waves

A new Office of Naval Research Program is focusing on developing new mine burial prediction models for a number of processes that have been identified for shallow water environments. These processes are briefly reviewed and preliminary modeling aspects and numerical computations for seabed liquefaction due to surface water waves are presented. Both a deterministic and a possible empirical approach are discussed.
