Minerals Management Service |
Estimated Completion |
Completed |
Description |
The objective was to study factors affecting soil and pipeline deformation below scouring ice ridges in the Arctic environment. The study provided:
- detailed characterization of moving ice-ridge morphology on the basis of available observations and measurement reports and
- response simulations of ice-ridge-soil-pipeline systems by means of computational-fluid-dynamics representations and finite-element models that capture flow and deformation in porous media

Progress |
Project ended in July 2009 with delivery of final report. |
