Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Rheological properties of marine mud are incorporated into a seawave‐seabed interaction model. The model assumes that the viscoelastic properties of the mud are dependent on the wave‐induced strains inside the stratified bed, and it solves for the depth of fluidization in the bed as a function of the imposed wave height. Below the fluidized layer the mud is assumed to behave elastically with a slow depth stratification. In the fluidized layer the behavior is assumed to be viscoelastic with a complex kinematic viscosity coefficient which is also a function of the imposed wave height.
