To develop a more comprehensive and reliable understanding of tsunami behaviours over coral reefs, this study employs the actual topography of a coral reef in the SCS and N-wave theory for the numerical simulation, encompassing the entire tsunami life cycle. Utilizing the open-source solver OlaFlow, driven by the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations, this study performs a series of numerical simulations of N-wave tsunamis considering the measured topography of the coral reef, as well as the real dimension of an engineering defence structure on the top of the coral reef. The adopted tsunami parameters are equivalent to an earthquake with a moment magnitude of 7.1. The simulations focus on the impact of wave profiles and initial static water levels on the propagation and evolution of tsunamis. Numerical simulations reveal that tsunami profiles, water depth, and topography significantly influence the tsunami dynamics, notably in the waveform transformation, the relationship between wave height and trough-to-peak ratio, and the topographic effects on the wave energy dissipation. These results highlight the critical need to incorporate factors such as tsunami profiles, dispersion, and realistic topography into tsunami predictive models for the purpose of more reliable hazard evaluation and the development of effective coastal defences.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50996,"journal":{"name":"Coastal Engineering","volume":"193 ","pages":"Article 104601"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142095707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, extracting quantitative measurements from coastal images has typically been done through the laborious task of hand-digitization of wave runup timestacks. Timestacks are images created by sampling a cross-shore array of pixels from an image through time as waves propagate towards and run up a beach. We utilize over 7000 hand-digitized timestacks from six diverse locations to train and validate machine learning models to automate the process of TWL extraction. Using these data, we evaluate two deep learning model architectures for the task of runup detection. One is based on a fully convolutional architecture trained from scratch, and the other is a transformer-based architecture trained using transfer learning. The deep learning models provide a probability of each pixel being either wet or dry. When contoured at the 50% level (equal chance of being wet or dry), the deep learning models more accurately identified TWL maxima than minima at all sites. This resulted in accurate predictions of 2% exceedance runup, but under predictions of significant swash and over predictions of wave setup. Improved agreement with the complete TWL time series was obtained through post-processing by utilizing the wet/dry probability of each pixel to weight the contouring toward lower dryness probabilities for runup minima (maxima agreed well with observations without tuning). Overall, a transformer-based model using transfer learning provided the best agreement with wave runup statistics, including a) the 2% exceedance runup, b) significant swash, and c) wave setup at the shoreline. For a random subset of images, the model was found to be within the uncertainty range of hand-digitization. The relative success of the transfer learning model suggests that fine-tuning a large model has advantages compared to training a smaller model from scratch. Models provide per-pixel probabilistic estimates in less than 10 s per timestack on a single computational unit, versus the more than 5 min required for hand-digitization. The model is therefore well-suited for near real-time applications, allowing for the development of early warning systems for difficult to forecast events. Real-time wave runup and total water level observations can also be incorporated into coastal hazards forecasts for data assimilation and continual model validation and improvement.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50996,"journal":{"name":"Coastal Engineering","volume":"193 ","pages":"Article 104600"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142088427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study involved various flow conditions, including unidirectional flows, tidal flows, and combinations of regular waves and currents. It has been found that under similar flow intensity and orientation angles, unidirectional flow tends to cause deeper scour depths, but with a more limited extent compared to scour induced by tidal flows. The disparity in maximum scour depth between tidal and unidirectional flows decreases as flow velocity increases. Under regular wave-current interaction, both the scour depth and the scour extent are larger than those induced by unidirectional flow. The presence of lee-wake vortices and streamline contractions near the connectors results in larger scour depths on either side of the foundation, especially when the orientation angle is set to 0°.

With the emergence of Early Warning Systems (EWSs) for coastal storm hazards, a fundamental challenge is the accurate prediction of sandy beach erosion at lead times of days to weeks corresponding to an approaching storm event. This work presents a data-driven modelling approach to predict storm-driven beach erosion (shoreline change) using a large dataset of 276 individual storm events at Narrabeen-Collaroy Beach, SE Australia. Correlation analysis between individual storm characteristics and shoreline response at three locations along the embayment with varying exposure to the prevailing waves indicates that cumulative storm wave energy is the dominant driver of storm erosion at this site. This is followed by the pre-storm beach width, storm wave direction and to a minimal extent, storm wave period and water levels. A multi-linear regression model of storm erosion is developed and found to accurately predict shoreline change due to individual storm events (RMSE = 3.7 m–6.4 m).

Their function as an eco-system as well as a protective barrier for human and natural habitat is under increased threat due to climate change. A thorough understanding of change processes at the sediment surface is essential to facilitate prediction of future development and management strategies to maintain their function. Especially slow and small scale processes happening over several days up to weeks at cm level, such as aeolian sand transport are difficult to identify and analyse. Permanent laser scanning (PLS) is a useful tool in the study and analysis of coastal processes as it captures a data representation of the evolution of the sediment surface over extended periods of time (up to several years) with high detail (at cm-dm level). The PLS data set considered for this study, consists of hourly acquired 3D point clouds representing the surface evolution of a section of the Dutch coast during three years. However, it is challenging to extract concrete information on specific change processes from the large and complex PLS data set. We use multiple hypothesis testing in order to reduce the PLS data set to a so-called inventory of trends, consisting of 12.8 million partial time series with associated rate of change and elevation. The inventory of trends proofs to be a suitable tool to identify natural processes such as storms and aeolian sand transport in our test area in the aeolian zone of a sandy beach-dune system on the Dutch coast. We identify these processes and provide a tool to derive summarising data from the complex PLS data set.

Though excluding the density effects, results suggest that the model captures the development of distributary channels and elongated sand bars with resemblance to that in the Yangtze Estuary. Sensitivity simulations show fundamentally different channel-shoal patterns take shape under different sediment compositions.

We detect a positive correlation between the content of cohesive sediment and the speed of development, particularly cohesive sediment content is &lt;50%.

Due to their importance, coastal erosion mitigation techniques are often implemented. Among these techniques, beach nourishment is considered an environmentally acceptable method for coastal protection and restoration. In this work, a methodology for the evaluation of such projects is proposed and applied to the biggest beach nourishment project in the city of Mar del Plata, Argentina. The nourishment was carried out between 1998 and 1999 in Playa Grande (PG), Varese (V) and Bristol (B) bays. The CoastSat toolkit was implemented to obtain shoreline positions from satellite imagery and to derive a 36-year monthly time series of beach width in the region. For the analysis, three distinctives time lapses are identified: pre-intervention, response, and new equilibrium. An exponential decay function was fitted to determine the response lapse and its characteristics. Metrics such as mean beach width and trends were computed and used to compare the condition of beaches before and after the project. Results show that the region experienced a net growth after nourishment, with beach width doubling in Bristol and Playa Grande, and increasing tenfold in Varase. Nourishment did not alter the erosive trends of Playa Grande and Bristol, nor the growth trend of Varese. Regarding renourishment planning, according to our findings, for Playa Grande and Bristol beaches to achieve a net growth of 1 m, it would require the deposition of 17 m³ of sediment per meter of coastline.
