摘要

This study investigates scouring beneath a submarine pipeline, specifically analyzing how varying particle Reynolds numbers affect sediment transport using the two-phase flow model, SedFOAM. It explores the impact of particle grain size and fluid bulk velocity under subaqueous conditions. The research provides valuable insights into the complexities of sediment transport and emphasizes the need for enhanced modeling to ensure accurate risk assessment of underwater structures.
