Shield's Parameter Modules

Calculate subsea critical seabed velocity for seabed stability and sediment movement from the critical shields number.

The Shields parameter is used to calculate the onset of seabed instability due to sediment movement. For subsea waves and currents the critical Shields parameter is approximately 0.04. For laminar flow the critical Shields parameter is approximately 0.03.
