In particular, salt marsh retreat amplifies pressure on the main coastal protection facilities in areas of coastal squeeze and at the same time leads to the loss of unique biodiverse wetland ecosystems that provide a wide range of key ecosystem services. Salt marshes are generally able to dynamically adapt to SLR through vertical sediment accretion and lateral expansion under hydrodynamically calmed conditions, as long as sufficient sediment budgets are available. However, in areas of little or no foreshore growth, facilitating sufficient sediment accretion is essential to ensure optimal coastal foreshore management. In Northern Europe, brushwood groyne fields used for centuries provide such hydrodynamically calmed settlement spaces that facilitate sediment accretion, yet they are insufficiently investigated and parametrized in regard to their flow-retentive effectiveness. Hence, this study parametrizes European brushwood groynes in the framework of a Darcy–Forchheimer model through a three-dimensional numerical modelling suite within the numerical framework REEF3D:CFD to quantify the fluid–structure interaction of European brushwood groynes systematically. Through validation with an existent laboratory dataset, steady-state current as well as oscillatory wave brushwood groyne interaction is investigated, providing details on flow retention, wave transmissivity and reflectivity. For the first time, laminar and turbulent resistance coefficients of European brushwood groynes are presented that enable the representation of European brushwood groynes in phase-resolved numerical modelling approaches. Furthermore, in-depth wave transmission and reflection coefficients are derived for a vast range of hydrodynamic conditions and numerous relevant brushwood groyne construction variations relevant to coastal protection. The numerical results revealed transmission coefficients in the range of 0.15 to 0.87 and reflection coefficients in the range from 0.17 to 0.73. State of the art and novel parametrized fit-equations are derived from the wave transmission and reflection coefficients, providing readily available tools to estimate European brushwood groyne transmissivity and reflectivity. In turn, this study serves as a first primer for optimizing the design of European brushwood groyne fields and comparable coastal protection structures aimed at facilitating sediment deposition and foreshore stabilization in order to foster the protective capabilities of coastal wetlands and their ecosystem services now and in the future.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50996,"journal":{"name":"Coastal Engineering","volume":"197 ","pages":"Article 104659"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142759301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The time histories recorded by the two types of wave buoys in three orthogonal directions and the relationship between them are comprehensively examined on a wave-by-wave basis. Although focusing on mild sea states, the analysis identifies significant second-order motion components in the horizontal plane for both DWR4 and Spotter buoys. It is confirmed that both DWR and Spotters work well and consistently in the vertical direction. However, we present considerable evidence that the DWR4 buoy overestimates the displacements in the horizontal plane by a factor of approximately 1/0.85 times, while the Spotter buoys’ displacements match well with theoretical predictions in the horizontal plane. Despite this apparent calibration error, both the mean wave direction and the directional spreading match well between the two buoy types, with the DWR4 giving slightly lower spreading angles at higher frequency.

If coral rubble remains unstable under typical everyday environmental conditions, areas of coral rubble will not be able to recover. Evaluating the probability of rubble instability over regional scale reef systems can assist the optimization of coral reef restoration efforts. Currently, robust and verified models for such applications do not exist. This paper presents a comprehensive assessment method to predict the probability of coral rubble instability, which combines a fluid-structural interaction approach with a statistical regional wave climate model. The hydrodynamic model employs non-linear wave theory to determine near-bed velocity, pressure gradients, and the corresponding drag and inertia forces acting on the coral rubble. The instability model assesses when overturning or sliding forces exceed resisting forces, considering thousands of combinations of different coral sizes and densities to calculate the proportion of instability under a given wave forcing. The model was calibrated and validated using prior laboratory experiments as reported by Kenyon et al. (2023b). The hydrodynamic and instability models use an extensive dataset of non-cyclonic wave climates (hindcast from over 30 years of wind measurements) specific to the region around Heron Reef, Great Barrier Reef, Australia, enabling a comprehensive evaluation of the probability of rubble instability in this area. Results indicate that the overall probability of rubble instability <span><math><mrow><mo>(</mo><msub><mi>Pr</mi><mn>3</mn></msub><mo>)</mo></mrow></math></span> reaches 0.74 in water depths less than 2 m (typical of reef crests or reef flats), while it declines to below 0.21 at a depth of 12 m (typical deeper parts of the fore reef). Coral rubble on reef crests near Heron Reef, which are sheltered by surrounding formations, demonstrates low probability of instability. Thus, coral rubble instability is influenced by both its specific location within the reef and the position of the reef relative to other nearby reefs. By integrating the rubble instability model with non-cyclonic wave climate data, a map of the probability of rubble instability was generated for eight reefs in the Capricorn and Bunker Group (CBG). This map provides valuable guidance for coral reef restoration efforts, significantly reducing the need for extensive field-based data.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50996,"journal":{"name":"Coastal Engineering","volume":"195 ","pages":"Article 104655"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142652934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accurately predicting the complex dynamics of tsunami wave run-up in densely populated urban areas is paramount for informing effective evacuation protocols and conducting comprehensive hazard and risk assessments. In pursuit of improving wave run-up prediction capabilities, this study delves into the three-dimensional numerical modelling of wave run-up of non-breaking, long tsunami waves in urbanized areas.

The boundary condition achieves an average of 4.9% accuracy in replicating the water surface elevation from experiments. Additionally, it attains an average 1.5% precision in reproducing flow velocities, furthermore reproducing the spatial flow dynamics accurately. Physical experiment wave run-up is modelled with an average 6.9% deviation for both simulations with and without idealized infrastructure. 63.0% higher non-linearity waves than in the physical experiments are additionally investigated to highlight the boundary conditions capabilities of high non-linearity wave generation, change in run-up reduction for higher non-linearity waves for infrastructure interaction and furthermore in-depth flow field characteristics during tsunami inundation.
