Random Wave-Induced Burial and Scour of Short Cylinders and Truncated Cones on Mild Slopes

A stochastic approach calculating the random wave-induced burial and scour depth of short cylinders and truncated cones on mild slopes is provided. It assumes the waves to be a stationary narrow-band random process and a wave height distribution for mild slopes is adopted, also using formulae for th...

Description
Summary:A stochastic approach calculating the random wave-induced burial and scour depth of short cylinders and truncated cones on mild slopes is provided. It assumes the waves to be a stationary narrow-band random process and a wave height distribution for mild slopes is adopted, also using formulae for the burial and scour depths for regular waves on horizontal beds for short cylinders and for truncated cones. Examples of results are also provided. publishedVersion (c) 2017 by ASME
