Lifting objects off the seabed

该项目旨在研究将物体从海床上抬起的过程。了解这一突破过程是各种海上应用的科学基础，例如石油和天然气退役、海洋打捞和在极端风暴下加固地基。该项目期望通过创新的高速摄影观测和先进的数值耦合分析来促进对这个问题的土壤-流体-结构相互作用的理解。结果将包括一个数值工具，根据高质量的实验数据库进行验证，以预测应对离岸挑战所需的突破过程和抬升。澳大利亚工程师能够更准确地预测吊装程序，这将有助于在澳大利亚水域进行更安全的作业，并有助于更经济地利用海洋资源。

This project aims to investigate the process of lifting objects off the seabed. Understanding this breakout process is the scientific basis for a variety of offshore applications such as oil and gas decommissioning, marine salvage and securing foundations under extreme storms. This project expects to advance the understanding of soil-fluid-structure interactions of this problem using innovative high-speed photography observations and advanced numerical coupled analyses. Outcomes will include a numerical tool, verified against a high quality experimental database, to predict the breakout process and uplift required for pressing offshore challenges. The ability for Australia’s engineers to predict lift procedures more accurately will contribute to safer operations in Australian waters and to the more economic harnessing of ocean resources.
