Lattice Gas Modeling of Scour Formation under Submarine Pipelines

The so-called lattice Boltzmann method is used to implement a numerical model for erosion, transport, and deposition of sediment due to the action of a streaming fluid. This approach is applied to describe the formation of a scour under a submarine pipe. Both static and dynamic properties of the process are well reproduced by our computer simulations.
