Outline Activities
Outline of research:
1. In order to investigate some possible changes in occurrence probability of storm surge due to global warming in Ariake Sea, we improve numerical simulation models and conduct many numerical computations.
2. The seawall for artificial islands is required to protect the inland facilities from severe wave actions such as wave run-up, wave-overtopping, and high water spray. However, it is almost impossible to completely prevent wave-overtopping in deepwater by a conventional upright seawall. In our study, considering the characteristics of the wave run-up in deepwater, we are tring to develop a non wave-overtopping type seawall with a low crown height.
3. Although breakwaters and seawalls are very effective to protect coastal areas from severe wave attacks, they often generate a large quantity of seawater spray when the waves collide with them. To obtain the basic knowledge on the transportation of the spray caused by violent wave run-up at a vertical breakwater, we have been conducting model experiments and field observations.
