PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to perform the thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) numerical analysis in order to study the thawing process for frozen soil and to predict the thawing settlement.Design/methodology/approachA new one-dimensional multi-field physical coupled model was proposed here to describe the thawing process of saturated frozen soil, whereby the void ratio varied linearly with effective stress (Eq. 10) and hydraulic conductivity (Eq. 27b). The thawing process was simulated with different initial and boundary conditions in an open system with temperature variations. The mechanical behavior and water migration of the representative cases were also investigated.FindingsThe comparisons of representative cases with experimental data demonstrated that the model predicts thawing settlement well. It was found that the larger temperature gradient, higher overburden pressure and higher water content could lead to larger thawing settlement. The temperature was observed that to distribute height linearly in both frozen zone and unfrozen zone of the sample. Water migration forced to a decrease in the water content of the unfrozen zone and an increase in water content at the thawing front.Research limitations/implicationsIn this study, only the one-directional thawing processes along the frozen soil samples were investigated numerically and compared with test results, which can be extended to two-dimensional analysis of thawing process in frozen soil.Originality/valueThis study helps to understand the thawing process of frozen soil by coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical numerical simulation.

Disastrous storm surges and waves caused by typhoons are major marine dynamic disasters affecting the east China coast and the Changjiang River Estuary, especially when they occur coincidentally. In this study, a high-resolution wave–current coupled model consisting of ADCIRC (Advanced Circulation) and SWAN (Simulating Waves Nearshore) was established and validated. The model shows reasonable skills in reproducing the surge levels and waves. The storm surges and associated waves are then simulated for 98 typhoons affecting the Changjiang River Estuary over the past 32 years (1987–2018). Two different wind fields, the ERA reanalysis and the ERA-based synthetic wind with a theoretical typhoon model, were adopted to discern the potential uncertainties associated with winds. Model results forced by the ERA reanalysis show comparative skills with the synthetic winds, but differences may be relatively large in specific stations. The extreme surge levels with a 50-year return period are then presented based on the coupled model results and the Gumbel distribution model. Higher risk is presented in Hangzhou Bay and the nearshore region along the coast of Zhejiang. Comparative runs with and without wave effects were conducted to discern the impact of waves on the extreme surge levels. The wave setup contributes to 2–12.5% of the 50-year extreme surge level. Furthermore, the joint exceedance probabilities of high surge levels and high wave height were evaluated with the Gumbel–logistic statistic model. Given the same joint return period, the nearshore region along the coast of Zhejiang is more vulnerable with high surges and large waves than the Changjiang River Estuary with large waves and moderate surges.

Based on the hydrodynamic model and wind field data, a multi-module coupled oil spill model is constructed for simulating the trajectory of oil movement. A case study is researched in Bohai Bay. The model works well and the numerical simulation results show the model is suitable for oil spill trajectory simulation. Two cases are considered with and without wind to show its important influence for the oil spill.

In this study, the mechanism of sea level rise along the Northern coast of Vietnam after the landfall of the Typhoon Kalmaegi (September/2014) at Quang Ninh province was analyzed based on the observation data and the results of a coupled model of surge, wave and tide (called SuWAT), by using asymmetric and symmetric wind and pressure fields. For the asymmetric wind and pressure field, the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model was used, while for the symmetric wind and pressure field, a parametric wind and pressure model was used. In the case using wind fields from the WRF model, the case that did not consider the effect of tail wind field after the typhoon landfall was also conducted in order to assess the role of the wind field before and after the typhoon landfall on the surge. The results showed that the case using wind and pressure field from the WRF model showed better agreement with observation data, because the WRF model well simulated the wind and pressure field before and after the typhoon landfall. The strong tail wind mainly caused the high surge in the area. This research result will be useful in warning and forecasting storm surges in the area.
