Robust Planning

Robust planning, engineering, and design in regions exposed to coastal inundation and wave extremes are critically important for ensuring economic and community resilience. To address this need, the profession is moving toward multi-faceted, risk-based approaches based on probabilistic hazard exposure that account for uncertainty. Herein, a Monte-Carlo model for sliding and overturning of caissons under extreme hydrodynamic loading is presented. The model may be used to support risk-based analyses during caisson design as well as in the characterization of inundation extremes from contemporary hazard reconnaissance and from the geological and archaeological records. Herein, model applications are presented (1) to characterize the 2nd century AD Mediterranean tsunami that damaged the ancient harbor of Caesarea, Israel and (2) to develop a scaling law for overturning.

AbstractWhen a tsunami wave comes from ocean and propagates through the shelf, it is very important to predict several dangerous factors: (a) maximum flooding of the coast, (b) tsunami wave height on the coast, (c) velocity of the tsunami front propagation through the coast, and (d) time of tsunami arriving at a given point in the coast and around it. In this study we study the separate case where the angle of inclination α of the seacoast is equal to zero. A linear solution of this problem is unsatisfactory since it gives an infinite rate of the coastal inundation that means the coast is flooded instantly and without a frontal boundary. In this study, we propose a principally new exact analytical solution of this problem based on nonlinear theory for the reliable recognizing these essential tsunami characteristics. The obtained formulas indicate that the tsunami wave can be stopped (or very strongly eliminated) in the shelf zone until approaching the shoreline. For this aim, it is necessary to artificially raising several dozens of bottom protrusions to the level of the calm water.

Abstract Coastal inundation has a great impact on the environment, such as damage to infrastructure and pollution of land and water. One of the efforts to prevent coastal inundation is to predict the water level. Delft3D is a hydrodynamic model that's able to simulate the water level. Coastal inundation research using the Delft3D model is still rarely done in Indonesia, especially on the east coast of Sumatra. This research is conducted in Belawan coastal area by simulating the water level that caused the coastal inundation using the Delft3D model. The best bathymetry for the prediction of water level and the magnitude of the wind effect was obtained from the simulation. The final step is to predict the water level in Belawan coastal area. The result of this research shows that the Delft3D model can simulate the water level which causes the coastal inundation in the Belawan coastal area. The correlation of the Delft3D model is 0.9, and the RMSE of GEBCO bathymetry is 0.39 meters and the RMSE of NOAA bathymetry is 0.46 meters. The GEBCO bathymetry is better than NOAA bathymetry in describing the water level in the Belawan coastal area. The wind effect on the water level simulations is not significant because the coefficient of determination is 0.47%. Besides, the Delft3D model with GEBCO bathymetry input can predict the water level which causes the coastal inundation with correlation reaches 0.92 and RMSE is 0.39 meters.

Fully Implicit

To enable flexible model coupling in coastal inundation studies, a coupling framework based on the Earth System Modeling Framework (ESMF) and the National Unified Operational Prediction Capability (NUOPC) technologies under a common modeling framework called the NOAA Environmental Modeling System (NEMS) was developed. The framework is essentially a software wrapper around atmospheric, wave and storm surge models that enables its components communicate seamlessly, and efficiently to run in massively parallel environments. For the first time, we are introducing the flexible coupled application of the ADvanced CIRCulation model (ADCIRC) and unstructured fully implicit WAVEWATCH III including NUOPC compliant caps to read Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting Model (HWRF) generated forcing fields. We validated the coupled application for a laboratory test and a full scale inundation case of the Hurricane Ike, 2008, on a high resolution mesh covering the whole US Atlantic coast. We showed that how nonlinear interaction between surface waves and total water level results in significant enhancements and progression of the inundation and wave action into land in and around the hurricane landfall region. We also presented that how the maximum wave setup and maximum surge regions may happen at the various times and locations depending on the storm track and geographical properties of the landfall area.

A coastal inundation simulation system was developed for the coast of the Pearl River estuary (PRE), which consists of an assimilation typhoon model and the coupled ADCIRC (Advanced Circulation) + SWAN (Simulating Waves Nearshore) model. The assimilation typhoon model consists of the Holland model and the analysis products of satellite images. This is the first time an assimilation typhoon model has been implemented and tested for coastal inundation via case studies. The simulation results of the system agree well with the real measurements. Three observed typhoon paths (Hope, Nida, and Hato) were chosen to be the studied paths based on their positions relative to the PRE, China. By comparing the results of experiments with different forcing fields, we determined that the storm surge and the coastal inundation were mainly induced by wind forcing. By simulating coastal inundation for different typhoon center speeds, the Hato3 path most easily causes coastal inundation in the PRE. Moreover, the moving speed of the typhoon’s center significantly affects the coastal inundation in the PRE. The inundation becomes very serious as the movement of the typhoon center was slow down. This study provides a new reference for future predictions of coastal inundations.
