Simulation Study on the Sediment Dispersion during Deep-Sea Nodule Harvesting

Simulation Study on the Sediment Dispersion during Deep-Sea Nodule Harvesting

During the harvesting of polymetallic nodules on the seabed, the sediment plume due to disturbance on the seabed impacts the benthic ecosystem. A numerical simulation based on the SPH (smooth particle hydrodynamics) method is used to estimate the time and length scale of the plume impact near the se...
