Abstract

Water jet technology is widely used in submerged buried pipes as a non-traditional trenching process, often involving a complex sediment response. An important adjustable and influential engineering variable in this technology is represented by the impinging distance. In this study, the FLOW-3D software was used to simulate the jet scouring of sand beds in a submerged environment. In particular, four sets of experimental conditions were considered to discern the relationship between the maximum scour depth and mass and the impinging distance. As shown by the results, a critical impinging distance exists by which the static scour depth can be maximized; the scour mass ratio between dynamic and static conditions decreases as the impinging distance increases. Moreover, the profile contours are similar when the erosion parameter is in the range 0.35 <  < 2. Empirical equations applicable for predicting the jet trenching contour under both dynamic and static scour modes are also provided in this study.
