| dc.description | The third objective of this study dealt with a sequence of numerical experiments conducted to investigate the impact of mitigation canals on the hydrodynamics of a tsunami-like turbulent bore moving across a flat bed. The effects of mitigation canal depth and its orientation on the reduction of maximum specific momentum and energy of turbulent bores crossing over it were investigated numerically. Variations in the ratio between the downstream and upstream maximum specific momentum and mean flow energy decreased as the canal depth increased, and the time history of the mean flow energy over a canal with a rectangular endwise profile revealed that the canal depth affects the jet stream of the maximum mean flow energy. As the canal depth increased, the period of time needed to dissipate the area of the jet stream with the maximum turbulent kinetic energy, vorticity, and energy dissipation rate decreased. Both the angled and perpendicular to flow direction canals caused the maximum specific momentum and energy of the turbulent bore to decrease downstream of the canal. The specific momentum and energy achieved their highest values for a canal orientation of 45º. The greatest reductions in maximum specific momentum for turbulent bores over canals with different depths and orientations were achieved for 𝜃 = 30°. | |
| dc.description.abstract | Recent tsunami events have inflicted devastating damage to coastal communities. Existing design standards provide a certain level of evaluation of tsunami effects such that critical infrastructure can be designed to resist tsunamis. Tsunami momentum flux, used to design structures is a function of water level height and velocity of tsunami bores. Understanding tsunamis and developing mitigation measures is essential. So far, some mitigation measures have been suggested, and to improve them, further investigations are required. The design of tsunami inundation effects mitigation canals is one of the suggested solutions which has received limited attention. | |
