Coupled Flow-Seepage-Elastoplastic Modeling for Competition Mechanism between Lateral Instability and Tunnel Erosion of a Submarine Pipeline

The instability of a partially embedded pipeline under ocean currents involves complex fluid–pipe–soil interactions, which may induce two typical instability modes; i.e., the lateral instability of the pipe and the tunnel erosion of the underlying soil. In previous studies, such two instability mode...
