Abstract:This study investigates the effectiveness of a new discrete V-shape coastal barrier (V-wall) to reduce multiple tsunami-bore impacts on a group of idealized coastal structures. The performance comparison has been made between a baseline model (BM), continuous straight wall models (SW) and V-wall (VW) models. A number of key parameters including the barrier height and length along with the arrangement of the landward structures are investigated numerically using the 3-D smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) app… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
