Abstract

This study analyzes storm characteristics and surge hydrographs corresponding to extreme storms in the Dutch coastal area, using a large dataset from simulated time series. A total of 8,000 storm events were selected for four study locations, allowing for a comprehensive investigation of various storm characteristics. Findings reveal that the offset between maximum surge and astronomical high tide typically exhibits three predominant values. A new percentile method for averaging storm surge hydrographs was employed, effectively preserving a realistic shape of the storm surge hydrograph and accurately reflecting durations. Comparing the averaged storm surge hydrographs for different magnitudes of the surge peak shows that it is possible to scale the averaged storm surge hydrograph to any peak value, as long as storms are first clustered based on location, tidal offset, and exceedance duration, since these characteristics substantially impact the shape of storm surge hydrographs. Comparisons with current design guidelines show that prescribed storm surge hydrographs often underestimate durations on the flanks of storm events, with variations in peak characteristics depending on location. The insights gained in this study, can be used to improve the representation of hydraulic loads in flood defense guidelines, potentially leading to more accurate flood safety assessments for coastal infrastructure.
荷兰海岸风暴潮的水文特征。基于仿真数据的分析
本研究利用模拟时间序列的大型数据集,分析了荷兰沿海地区极端风暴的风暴特征和浪涌线。在四个研究地点共选择了8,000个风暴事件,以便对各种风暴特征进行全面调查。研究结果表明,最大浪涌与天文高潮之间的偏移量通常表现为三个主要值。采用了一种新的风暴潮线平均的百分位法,有效地保留了风暴潮线的真实形状,并准确地反映了风暴潮线的持续时间。比较不同震级风暴潮峰值的平均风暴潮线可以看出,只要首先根据位置、潮汐偏移和超越持续时间对风暴进行聚类,就可以将平均风暴潮线缩放到任何峰值,因为这些特征在很大程度上影响了风暴潮线的形状。与现行设计指南的比较表明,规定的风暴潮水文图往往低估了风暴事件侧翼的持续时间,峰值特征随地点而变化。本研究中获得的见解可用于改善洪水防御指南中水力载荷的表示,可能导致更准确的沿海基础设施洪水安全评估。

期刊介绍: Coastal Engineering is an international medium for coastal engineers and scientists. Combining practical applications with modern technological and scientific approaches, such as mathematical and numerical modelling, laboratory and field observations and experiments, it publishes fundamental studies as well as case studies on the following aspects of coastal, harbour and offshore engineering: waves, currents and sediment transport; coastal, estuarine and offshore morphology; technical and functional design of coastal and harbour structures; morphological and environmental impact of coastal, harbour and offshore structures.
