Coastal Resilience

In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, the Rebuild by Design competition was born to encourage cross-disciplinary collaboration and resilience planning in coastal and flood protection design. The Living Breakwaters project is a layered resilience approach to promote risk reduction, enhance ecosystems, and foster social resilience. Following the competition, the project was awarded $60 million by HUD (US Department of Housing and Urban Development) in June 2013. It is currently in final design and permitting with construction anticipated to begin the summer of 2019. The Living Breakwaters Project is a unique design of an offshore breakwater system to promote coastal resilience in Tottenville, Staten Island, New York. It combines physical risk reduction through wave attenuation and erosion prevention functions with ecological enhancement and habitat creation as an integrated part of the design. This paper explores the modeling and design of these unique coastal engineering and ecological structures.

This paper describes two separate but closely related physical models conducted to support the detailed design of the Living Breakwaters project located in Raritan Bay, New York. One study focused on optimizing and verifying the breakwater design elements to ensure they were well adapted to typical and extreme conditions, while the second study focused on verifying the overall performance of multiple living breakwaters in terms of wave attenuation and impacts on nearshore wave-induced circulation. These investigations generated a large quantity of valuable information concerning the design and performance of the breakwaters that will be used to optimize and support the final design and obtain the necessary permits required for construction.

Perforated Caisson

A Jarlan-type perforated caisson consisted of a perforated front wall, a solid rear wall, and a wave-absorbing chamber between them. The wave-absorbing chamber was the main feature of the perforated caisson, and its width had a great effect on wave attenuation performance. In this study, a larger range of the wave-absorbing chamber width was observed in model experiments to investigate the effect on wave attenuation performance including the reflection coefficients and the horizontal wave forces of a perforated caisson sitting on a rubble-mound foundation. A resistance-type porosity numerical model based on the volume-averaged Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (VARANS) equations was validated by comparing the present results with those of previously reported and present experiments. The validated numerical model was then used for extended research. It was found that the reflection coefficients, the total horizontal wave force, and its components all tended to oscillate in a decrease ⟶ increase ⟶ decrease manner with increasing the wave-absorbing chamber width. The reflection coefficients and wave forces acting on both sides of the perforated front wall were found to be synchronized regardless of perforation ratio or the rubble-mound foundation height.
