The model results presented in Figures 13-12 reveal a significant correlation between towing speed and seabed shear velocities. These hydrodynamic patterns directly influence sediment resuspension characteristics. Quantitative analysis of suspended sediment concentrations demonstrates that blunt bow configurations consistently generate higher values compared to raked geometries under identical operational conditions. Specifically, for cases with significant sediment mobilization (concentrations exceeding 1000 kg/m\({}^{3}\)), blunt bows increase suspended sediment concentrations by 90-190% relative to raked configurations. This enhancement exhibits strong correlation with the Froude number, as increased towing speeds amplify the differences between bow geometries through the combined effects of bow-induced pressure gradients and squat-related clearance reduction. At the maximum towing speed of 2 m/s, substantially elevated shear velocities were observed on the seabed compared to lower-speed scenarios. Peak shear velocities were consistently recorded in the vicinity of the floating object's bow, particularly in the area directly beneath it. This localized increase in shear stress resulted in predominant scouring beneath the bow region and correspondingly elevated suspended sediment concentrations. To compare the total amounts of suspended sediment generated across all scenarios, Figures 21-23 were prepared to provide key insights into the various parameters of suspended sediment based on different geometrical and operational configurations. Figures 22 and 23 further provide a comparative evaluation between blunt and raked bow configurations, demonstrating the significant role of bow geometry in determining sediment resuspension dynamics. The results of the simulations at varying towing speeds indicate that the highest towing speed of 2 m/s produces the most intense hydrodynamic effects on the seabed. Specifically, the highest shear velocities were noted beneath and around the bow of the floating object. Consequently, scouring occurred predominantly beneath the bow, and the amount of suspended sediment reached higher values particularly in this region. The observed shear velocities at this towing speed were substantially higher than those in lower-speed scenarios, supporting the conclusion that increased towing speeds are directly correlated with higher sediment disturbance. As the width of the floating object increased, a noticeable increase in flow velocities throughout the domain was observed. At the highest towing speed, the flow velocities beneath the floating object increased by approximately 50%, with this effect diminishing at lower speeds. This widening led to greater water displacement at the front, regardless of bow shape, resulting in higher water levels and increased return flow velocities. The significant water movement from the high-pressure zone near the bow to the low-pressure area beneath the object explains the increased shear and flow velocities, leading to intensified scouring and sediment resuspension over a larger area. In contrast, changes in the length of the floating object had a less substantial impact on the flow dynamics. While there were some minor variations in flow velocity and direction, the overall effect of length was less pronounced compared to width, with the primary observable change being a gradual decrease in velocity from bow to stern. The comparison between blunt and raked bow configurations revealed that, while the general flow patterns remained consistent, the raked bow generally exhibited lower overall flow velocities due to its streamlined shape, which reduced sediment resuspension and scouring. However, under high towing speeds or reduced clearance heights, even raked bows can induce notable hydrodynamic effects, although typically less pronounced than those observed with blunt bows. These results indicate that blunt bow geometries have a more significant impact on sediment transport compared to raked bows, especially under similar operational conditions.
