Abstract
An approach by which the scour depth around a spherical body and the self-burial depth of such a body in random waves can be derived is presented. Here the formulas for scour and self-burial depths of a spherical body by Truelsen et al. [Truelsen C, Sumer BM, Fredsøe J. Scour around spherical bodies and self- burial. ASCE J Waterway Port Coast Ocean Eng 2005;131(1):1–13] for regular waves are used. They are combined with describing the waves as a stationary Gaussian narrow-band random process to derive the scour and self-burial depths in random waves.
