...). Although the model has been widely related to is propagated from the near- eld hydrodynamics and a medium- ne grain size coarse porous ow (e.g. in coastal structures), the model in this work is applied to porous medium. Di erent draining patterns (i.e. draining surface shape and lay- coarse sand material...

... there is a coastal structure or an estuarine sediment. All the possible scenarios thereof have been compared and discussed. The range of the area under impact was identified extending for 4.8km from the north of the Hsinchu Fishery Port and for 7.3 km from the south of the port, 12.1 km in total. INTRODUCTION...

... ABSTRACT The main purpose of this study is to investigate tsunami-induced loading on coastal structures and the influences of mitigation walls in reducing tsunami forces by using smoothed particle hydrodynamics method. Numerical simulations were built to examine the force reduction effect...

... ABSTRACT The 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake and resulting Tsunami caused heavy damage to the Pacific coast regions, especially in Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures. This paper describes standard damage to coastal structures in the Kinkazan, Omotehama and Ogihama ports...

..., Giza, Egypt ABSTRACT A study has been conducted to estimate the appropriate value of the seismic forces applicable for the stability analysis of berths in the Eastern zone of KSA. Since KSA does not have a specialty code for the design of coastal structures, relevant international coastal codes have...

... ABSTRACT In the present paper is investigated whether certain advances in numerical methods can describe the phenomenon of wave transformation from windward to leeward of a coastal structure through flushing culverts. A series of experimental datais presented, where a 2- D physical model has...

... ABSTRACT: In this paper, we engage a Lagrangian, particle-based CFD method, named Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic (SPH) to study the solitary wave motion and its impact on coastal structures. Two-dimensional weakly compressible and incompressible SPH models were applied to simulate wave...

... ABSTRACT: In this paper, the results of a study on the effects of geometry control on the performance of overtopping wave energy converters with a simple geometry built in coastal structures (simple OWECs) are presented. Empirical formulae, derived based on experimental tests on simple OWECs...

... ABSTRACT: This study develops a three dimensional morphodynamic model around coastal structures considering a wave-current interaction. In the wave model, the current effects on wave breaking and energy dissipation are taken into account as well as the wave diffraction effect. Firstly...

...; however, shear force produced by return flow increases. As a result, a lot of sand is sucked out from the foundation, leading to a levee break. In this paper, new formulas to clarify whether or not a coastal structure will break due to suction are obtained from hydraulic experiments. Furthermore...

INTRODUCTION Under violent waves, serious damages of coastal structures, such as dispersions of armor blocks and partial failures of breakwater, have been reported. In such case, prompt measurements and specification of the damaged...

The first led to important correlations between the height of the crest of the coastal structure, its surface slope...

... shaking and subsequent effects followed by tsunamis. As most of the tsunamis are earthquake induced tsunamis, it is necessary that coastal structures should be designed against both earthquake and tsunami loads. Seismic and Tsunami resistant analyses are complicated as the motion is transient...
