The research would use the Dundee geotechnical centrifuge1 to prototype different seabed collection and extraction systems based upon successful research in seabed plough systems1,2 and the potential to create and scale soft clay seabed environments in a cost-effective environment. The project will be supported by the co-applicant expertise in advanced numerical techniques (PFEM, DEM)3 to refine and focus the study with efficient parametric investigation.
