Mechanical Analysis on the Scour of Submarine Pipeline

Abstract:

The reason about the scour of the submarine pipeline is researched in this paper. Through the mechanical analysis about the sand grain in the downstream of the pipe, the critical condition about of scour start is derived. The balance condition about the scour is studied. Through the mechanical analysis about the sand grain in the scour hole, the maximal scour hole depth is got.
