A three-dimensional Lattice Boltzmann flow and scour model is developed to simulate time-dependent scour below a submarine pipeline. The proposed model presented in this paper is able to predict streamwise and spanwise propagations of scour with respect to lattice unit of time. It is evident from this study that the existence of a spiral vortex in the proximity of the span shoulder is quite noteworthy. It is revealed that the critical regime of the 2-D scour process is found to be up to one pipe diameter away in both directions from the middle of the unsupported length of pipelines. The equilibrium maximum scour depth and the shape of streamwise equilibrium scour hole compare well with the available experimental data. The speed of propagation of scour along the pipeline length maintains an almost constant rate, which is consistent with the experimental observations found in literature. In addition, it is seen that the scour slope at the shoulder region remains fairly constant throughout the whole scour process.

The centripetal and Coriolis accelerations experienced by a cart traveling over a rotating turntable are usually calculated proceeding from the known kinematics of the problem. Respective forces can be regarded as due to the entrainment of the cart in the moving solid environs. We extend the approach to the general case of a particle entrained in the flow of the surrounding medium. The expression for the driving force on the particle obtained from the kinematics of the entrainment prescribed appears to be isomorphic to the Lorentz and Coulomb force on a positive electric charge. The inverse direction of the electromagnetic force on a negative charge implies that a growing applied flow induces the upstream motion of the particle. A possible microscopic mechanism for it may be the Magnus force dynamics of a kink in a vortex tangle. The loop on a straight vortex filament can be taken as a model of the electron, the loop with a cavitation models the positron. The Lorentz force is concerned with the Coriolis acceleration. The Coulomb interaction is due to the centripetal or centrifugal force that arises in the turbophoresis of the kink in the perturbation field generated in the medium by the center of pressure.
