Impact Burial Prediction for Mine Breaching Using IMPACT35

The long-term goal is to predict operational mine (e.g., Rokan, Manta, Bowen, and Korean) maneuver in water column and burial in sediment for shallow water (water depth around 40 – 60 ft). OBJECTIVES • To establish mine impact burial data set with operational mine shapes for impact burial prediction • To update IMPACT35 for operational mine shapes such as Manta, Rockan, etc. • To implement a new technique (pseudo-cylinder parameterization scheme) into IMPACT35 • To provide the experimental data with operational mine shapes to the mine burial prediction community • To deliver IMPACT35 to the mine burial prediction community • To integrate the NPS mine impact burial prediction model into the Commander Naval Meteorological and Oceanographic Command (CNMOC) mine warfare program for operational us
