CV16031 World War I shipwrecks in the Irish Sea: commemoration, visualization - part II Survey

Multibeam and pinger survey of shipwrecks in the North Atlantic Ocean. The overall scientific goal of this application is to acquire very high-resolution data over World War I (WWI) wrecks in the Irish Sea which will be used for archaeological, biological and physical processes research, 3D visualization and cultural heritage management. This overall aim is broken down into six objectives: • To examine the physical processes occurring around these sites (on a local and regional scale) which are responsible for their preservation or destruction. • To conduct computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modelling at select wreck sites with a view to understanding fluid flow, scouring and preservation issues. • To investigate the diversity of marine life on and around the unique ecological habitats created by the wrecks . • To build up a unique high-resolution image gallery of these wrecks which can be used in public outreach allowing otherwise inaccessible sites to be enjoyed by current and future generations. • To enhance the positional record and identification data on WWI wreck sites in the Irish Sea. • To collect data that can be used for future studies into impact of the (chemical) pollution these wrecks have on the seabed and its biology.北大西洋海域沉船多波束测深与声脉冲探测（Multibeam and pinger survey）数据集。本次调查的总体科学目标为获取爱尔兰海海域第一次世界大战（World War I, WWI）沉船的超高分辨率探测数据，相关数据将用于考古学、生物学及物理过程研究、三维可视化与文化遗产管理工作。该总体目标可拆解为以下六项具体任务： • 开展上述沉船遗址周边（局地及区域尺度）物理过程研究，探明影响其保存或损毁的物理机制。 • 针对选定的沉船遗址开展计算流体动力学（Computational Fluid Dynamic, CFD）模拟，以解析流体流动、海床冲刷及遗址保存相关问题。 • 调查沉船所形成的独特生态生境内部及周边海域的海洋生物多样性。 • 建立专属的沉船超高分辨率影像图库，用于公众科普推广，使当代及后世民众得以领略原本无法亲临的遗址风貌。 • 完善爱尔兰海海域一战沉船遗址的位置记录与身份鉴定数据。 • 采集相关数据，用于后续研究沉船所释放的（化学）污染物对海床及其生物群落的影响。
