Conventional pipeline design assesses hydrodynamic stability of offshore pipelines without taking into account sediment transport occurring around the pipeline (e.g. DNV-RP-F109). There are growing concerns that such a design approach is flawed (Palmer 1996). It is evident that the seabed that (...)
