Numerical simulations were performed using a two-phase free surface flow model. Interface tracking was also performed using the modified fine grid volume tracking-volume of fluid (FGVT-VOF) method. Experimental measurements were employed to verify the numerical results, suggesting that the numerical model accurately predicts the transmission coefficient; thereby, the numerical results are useful for designing submerged breakwaters.

Among these, the Source-Pathway-Receptor-Consequence (SPRC) methodology assesses the risk from the source of the hazard to the possible consequences. In the present work, an economic evaluation was carried out on the substantial damages directly associated with the floods generated by a 10 m high tsunami off the coast of Zihuatanejo, Mexico. This event was identified as the worst-case scenario of tsunamis associated with a 8.4 Mw earthquake. The method followed was the SPRC, with an economic evaluation, applied to street level in Zihuatanejo. The economic costs were obtained from the results of this work using a criterion to characterize the percentage of damage to various types of housing and goods associated with different levels of flooding. This work is intended as a basis for the better planning of urban development, considering possible economic damage from tsunamis. It also provides a more objective perspective for distributing funds for mitigating natural disasters, allowing aid to be directed to the areas and types of housing with greatest risk from the flooding.","PeriodicalId":50673,"journal":{"name":"Coastal Engineering Journal","volume":"65 1","pages":"256 - 276"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42809864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Important performance requirements for breakwaters include minimal damage and high strength, even when the external forces exceed the design forces. In this study, the failure process and final state of breakwaters with reinforcing embankments are investigated via centrifuge model tests, and the cross-sectional configuration of the reinforcing embankment for improving the tenacity of breakwaters is determined. The results show that, in the overturning mode, when the number of rubble stones decreases, the reinforcing embankment deforms in accordance with the inclination of the caisson; subsequently, the caisson overturns and mounts onto the embankment. When balance is not maintained at that position, the caisson slides down the slope surface, resulting in catastrophic failure. A series of centrifuge model tests qualitatively show that placing more rubble stones adjacent to the caisson is less likely to result in such catastrophic failure. Furthermore, the stability of the breakwaters is evaluated via circular slip analyses, which demonstrate the importance of increasing the volume of the reinforcing embankment adjacent to the caisson in terms of the stability.","PeriodicalId":50673,"journal":{"name":"Coastal Engineering Journal","volume":"65 1","pages":"217 - 233"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48401198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effect of vegetation characteristics on solitary wave propagation and attenuation is numerically investigated in this study. A 3D numerical model is established based on the Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) equations combined with k-ω shear stress transport (SST) turbulence model, and the Volume of Fluid (VOF) method is used to capture the free water surface. This model is first validated by a series of physical experimental results with high accuracy. Subsequently, the model is used to simulate the interaction between solitary waves and submerged vegetation with different densities, submergence ratios, and distribution modes. The results indicate that the density and submergence ratios of submerged vegetation significantly affect the propagation and attenuation of solitary waves under uniform distribution modes. Compared with the condition of the uniform distribution mode, the solitary wave dissipates more energy after passing through the vegetation zone under the non-uniform distribution modes. Large differences in velocity fields are found for uniform/non-uniform distribution modes, which contribute to understanding the wave dissipation influenced by vegetation characteristics.","PeriodicalId":50673,"journal":{"name":"Coastal Engineering Journal","volume":"65 1","pages":"198 - 216"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42152509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

No other part of the world has such a large number of subduction plate boundaries and warm ocean basins, resulting in massive tsunamis, tropical cyclones, and storm surges (Figure 1). In reality, the six worst coastal disasters of the 21st century in terms of number of casualties all occurred in Asia: the Indian Ocean Tsunami (2004), Cyclone Sidr (Bangladesh, 2007), Cyclone Nargis (Myanmar, 2008), the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami (Japan, 2011), Typhoon Haiyan (the Philippines, 2013), and the Sulawesi (Palu) Earthquake, Landslide and Tsunami (Indonesia, 2018). These six disasters have claimed more than 400,000 victims. Natural and anthropogenic environmental degradation, such as coastal erosion, land subsidence, and mangrove deforestation, have also been remarkably increasing the risk of disasters in Asia (Hao and Takewaka 2022; Sreeranga et al. 2022). Locallyintensified tsunamis due to a combination of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, subaerial and submarine landslides (Heidarzadeh and Mulia 2022; Sabeti and Heidarzadeh 2022) and risks associated with the uncertainty of large thrust earthquakes also need to be further studied and clarified (Momeni et al. 2022). Where major disasters occurred in Asia, recovery has immediately begun with international support, but the midand long-term successes of such recovery efforts are not straightforward (Iuchi et al. 2023). In countries with sufficient financial resources, the immediate recovery steps will be to strengthen through, for example, coastal dikes and embankments. However, not many areas in Asia can take into action appropriate hard countermeasures such as construction of coastal dikes due to financial constraints (Takagi et al., 2022). Asia has countless examples of disasters, which, on the other hand, means that there is ample evidence on the ground that can be used to enhance scientific understanding (Valdez et al. 2022; Heidarzadeh and Mulia 2022). Limited funds and resources also mean that there are opportunities for innovation in various disaster mitigation measures (Pringgana, Cunningham, and Rogers 2023). In fact, several Asian countries have successfully implemented mass evacuations of","PeriodicalId":50673,"journal":{"name":"Coastal Engineering Journal","volume":"65 1","pages":"1 - 2"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42612104","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A number of key parameters including the barrier height and length along with the arrangement of the landward structures are investigated numerically using the 3-D smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) approach. From the SPH models output the bore velocity, maximum force, total impulse, and pressure distribution on the structures are examined. The results indicate that the V-walls can provide a similar level of protection to continuous seawalls of the same height and hence can be considered as an economic alternative to protection in tsunami prone regions. However, in order to gain the greatest benefit from the V-walls, strategic planning of the position and orientation of landward structures and the walls themselves are needed to avoid bore flow focusing and reflection effects.","PeriodicalId":50673,"journal":{"name":"Coastal Engineering Journal","volume":"65 1","pages":"149 - 173"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46048758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This sequence assumes that the disaster event immediately improves knowledge of the hazard. To learn from an actual case, we document PASIGALA’s rebuilding process following the 2018 Central Sulawesi earthquake. We reviewed public documents in-depth, assessed coastal hazards with new information, and reflected on our field observations. We documented the 3.5-year situation in detail and developed recovery narratives. We also found that the actual post-disaster development does not fully incorporate the planned goals of hazard risk reduction. Reasons include: i) the need to create a hazard map before knowing the hazard’s mechanism; ii) the scale of hazard mapping does not correspond to that of individual building parcels; iii) residents, out of necessity, restart their lives in the prohibited areas, and iv) relocation plans do not attract affected residents when rebuilding their lives. Governments may create simplified hazard maps to facilitate timely rebuilding, but this overlooks nuanced problems residents face, further complicating their situation. Although the hazard maps show the region’s potential hazards, the next disaster could be different. We conclude the current practice of hazard map-based rebuilding needs more deliberation.","PeriodicalId":50673,"journal":{"name":"Coastal Engineering Journal","volume":"65 1","pages":"126 - 148"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48702522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Models based on coarse grid solutions of shallow water equations have been improved recently via the use of subgrid corrections, which account for information (ground surface elevations, roughness characteristics) at smaller scales. In this work, numerical approaches of an established storm surge model are extended to include subgrid corrections. In an attempt to maintain continuity with existing users and results, model extensions were limited to those needed to provide basic subgrid capabilities, and included two major additions. First, a finite volume method is used to incorporate corrections to the mass and momentum equations using high-resolution ground surface elevations. Second, the no-slip condition imposed on the B-grid wet/dry interface in the model is modified to a slip condition to enable flows in channels with widths comparable to cell size. Numerical results demonstrate these numerical extensions can significantly enhance the accuracy of the model’s predictions of coastal flooding, with low additional computational cost.","PeriodicalId":50673,"journal":{"name":"Coastal Engineering Journal","volume":"65 1","pages":"175 - 197"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46068740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To compensate for this, mangrove plantations are being attempted at various sites but with many failures. In this study, we investigated the role of a small portable reef in protecting young mangrove plants from hydrodynamic disturbances caused by short-period waves. To investigate the effectiveness of such a small reef, an experiment using a large wave flume was conducted with two types of real-sized portable reefs (stone and block reefs). A numerical wave model was also constructed to analyze in detail the turbulence around the reef. Our previous study showed that short-period waves can cause resonant oscillations in young mangrove plants. To confirm whether this occurs even behind a reef system, a young mangrove model made of flexible olefin resin was tested with a small wave flume placed behind porous and non-porous reefs, and its oscillation was precisely measured using a high-speed camera. These experiments yielded several new findings. If appropriately designed, small porous reefs can minimize oscillations with adverse effects and provide a favorable environment for the initial growth of mangroves at restoration sites.","PeriodicalId":50673,"journal":{"name":"Coastal Engineering Journal","volume":"65 1","pages":"110 - 125"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42466666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the experiments, five different sediment diameters were used and the same diameters of fluorescent sand tracers were sprinkled on the sand bed surface to investigate the mixing depth. After a specific duration of regular wave generation , core samples were taken at six different cross-shore locationsand analyzed the mixing depth. Moreover, the flow velocity field in the surf zone was obtained by using a Large Eddy Simulation model and discussed the relationship with spatial distributions of mixing depth. The results reveal that the mixing depth has cross-shore spatial variation and the maximum mixing depth occurred at the impinging point for all tested sediment diameters. The spatial distributions for each diameter were repeatable; however, the depth decreases in a logarithmic manner from smaller to larger grain size. Furthermore, the spatial distribution of mixing depth is correlated with the bottom root mean square vertical velocity and proposed a new simple mathematical relationship for mixing depth that shows good accuracy with experimental data.","PeriodicalId":50673,"journal":{"name":"Coastal Engineering Journal","volume":"64 1","pages":"619 - 629"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45137588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
