title = "A finite element model for wave-induced scour below a pipeline",
abstract = "A vertical two-dimensional numerical model is established for simulating wave-induced scour below pipelines. The fluid motion due to waves is approximated by a sinusoidally oscillatory flow. The two-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations are solved with a k-ω turbulence model closure. The suspended sediment transport is described by a convection-diffusion equation of sediment concentration with prescribed boundary conditions. The bed load is calculated using an empirical formula. Time-dependent bed profiles are updated based on the period-averaged sediment mass conservation equation. The numerical model is validated against the experimental data available in literature.",
