Experimental Study Of Parsian Port Breakwater Toe Stability
Authors: IMANI MOHAMMADKAZEM , SHAFIEFAR MEHDI , RASHMAL BABAK
Published: May 2024

The stability performance of toe layer in structures with single-layer concrete armoures such as accropods and Xblocks is more crucial regarding their fast instability propagation and failure mechanism. This paper presents the case study concerning toe stability of Pasrsian port breakwater by experimental tests on physical model in Tarbiat modares university wave flume. Parsian industrial port is located in the south of Iran at Persian Gulf coastline. Its nineteen berths in final phase will be protected by approximately 1500 meter breakwater which at the most critical section, W5, reaches the sea bed level of -25 m.C.D. Figure 1. In concrete armored breakwaters, heterogeneous packing could increase the porosity in top rows and eventually result in instability. Therefore the number of rows in which the concrete units can be placed would be limited. According to the SUGRA guidance for Accropode units, this the maximum number of rows shall be 20, which leads designers to consider toe berm for breakwaters in deep water. Hence, it was vital to conduct a comprehensive physical model study.
Large Scale Physical Model Study On Clay Erosion With Gras Cover On Primary Coastal Defence Structures
Authors: ZWANENBURG SUZANNA , VAN BERGEIJK VERA , DE WOLFF BERT , KLEIN BRETELER MARK
Published: May 2024

Sea dikes in the Netherlands consist of sandy or clay core with a clay layer with grass. The lower outer slope is often covered with a hard revetment, such as asphalt or a placed block revetment, to protect the dike material against wave impact. Since the strength of the clay layer with a grass subject to severe wave impact is unknown, the hard revetment needs to be constructed on a large part of the outer slope to ensure that the flood defence meets the safety requirements.
Therefore, a research programme was started to determine the strength of the clay layer with grass on the upper slope of a dike. As a first step, large scale physical model tests have been performed. In the second step the CFD model OpenFOAM has been used to extend the physical model results by computing the peak pressure of the hydraulic load on the clay for the tested geometries and additional geometries with varying parameters that may influence the erosion rate. With all results, it was possible to derive formulas for failure probability calculations in the final step. The knowledge development on the erosion of a clay layer with grass on the outer slope by wave attack resulted into formulas that are currently used in the safety assessment of dikes contributing towards safer deltas and resilient designs of dikes.

Published: May 2024

Infragravity (IG) waves are relatively long waves with typical periods of several tens of seconds to several minutes. The energy at the IG band plays an important role in nearshore areas. For example, IG waves can significantly contribute to dune erosion and sediment transport (e.g., Roelvink et al., 2009), and may excite harbor oscillations (e.g., Bowers, 1977). Furthermore, IG waves may result in destructive inundation events (e.g., Roeber and Bricker, 2015). These documentations of IG waves' impacts emphasise the necessity to account for IG contributions as part of coastal hazard assessments, especially under storm conditions.
Wave And Wave Overtopping Measurements In A Complex Area And At A Real Dike
Authors: OOSTERLO PATRICK , VAN DER MEER JENTSJE , OVERDUIN MAARTEN
Published: May 2024

Wave overtopping is not easy to measure in real field situations. A 12-years long program started in 2018 to measure wind, wave and water level conditions in a complex estuary, together with wave overtopping measurements at dikes. The first winter storm was measured on 8 January 2019 and first results were described in Van der Meer et al. (2019). Wave and water level conditions are measured directly in front of the dike. Overtopping is measured with two identical overtopping boxes that were placed in the dike, but at different levels, see Figure 1. A measuring pole in front of the dike has measured wave and water level conditions for 10 years already and the design of the overtopping boxes was based on those data. In recent years, a system was invented that measures wave run-up and wave overtopping with two parallel lasers, see Figure 2. The laser scanner system was placed next to the overtopping boxes to enable a proper validation. First results were presented in Oosterlo et al. (2021a; 2021b). This paper describes the further storms that have been measured up to now, including new measurement devices, improvements to measurement devices and new analysis methods. This all brings new insights, but more storms and improvements of measurements are needed to come to a full understanding of this complex estuary.

Published: May 2024

Physical or numerical models are common tools to investigate the interaction between waves and marine structures. The decomposition of the water level into incident and reflected wave components is often required, as most design variables (overtopping, run-up) are linked to the incoming wave characteristics. Also, an accurate solution can provide information on the distribution of energy in the wave spectrum and the spread of energy from the fundamental wave components to the lower and higher frequencies (Lin and Huang, 2004). Thus, utilizing an appropriate wave reflection analysis is critical in the analysis of such experiments.
Numerical And Physical Modelling Of The Pore Pressure Development Around A Monopile Foundation
Authors: GKOUGKOUDI-PAPAIOANNOU MARIA , PEPI YURI , STREICHER MAXIMILIAN , STUYTS BRUNO , TROCH PETER
Published: May 2024

Offshore wind has favoured the use of monopile foundation due to its simplicity in design, construction and industrial scalability. The stability of the monopile foundations can be affected not only by the direct action of wave loads but also by the response of the surrounding seabed. Numerical and physical modelling can be used to simulate the wave-structure-seabed interaction and accurately predict the wave-induced seabed response around the monopile foundation.
Within this context, a 3D coupled numerical model is developed to investigate the excess pore pressure development around a monopile foundation and the accompanying changes in the effective stress of the seabed soil. In addition to the coupled hydrodynamic-geotechnical analyses, physical model tests have been performed at the Coastal & Ocean Basin (COB) in Ostend (BE) within the SOILTWIN project in December 2023. These tests provide insight into the soil behaviour around the monopile foundation based on pore pressure measurements. The comparison of the numerical results with experimental data is essential for an improved calibration of the numerical model as well as for a better understanding of the soil response under various wave loading conditions. The experimental setup and the initial findings will be discussed during the conference.
Numerical Tools For Wave Overtopping At Rubble Mound Breakwaters With Submerged Berms
Authors: CELLI DANIELE , RISIO MARCELLO DI , CASTELLINO MYRTA , GIROLAMO PAOLO DE
Published: May 2024

In the era of climate change, the adaptation of existing coastal structures as a response to potential increasing loads, has
become a trending topic in coastal engineering. The combination of sea level rise, storm surge, tides and waves is going to dramatically increase the wave overtopping.
In this context, this research is focused on the evaluation of wave overtopping for conventional rubble mound breakwaters, modified by the introduction of a submerged berm. Recent studies illustrated how the introduction of emerged berms on the seaward slope reduces the wave overtopping. The goal then becomes to turn the spotlight on the submerged berms, whose effectiveness has yet to be attested, although it has proven useful in reducing wave loads on the armour layer and seabed pressure under the structure. Therefore, the reliability of two different numerical models in detecting overtopping phenomenon have been assessed.
IHFOAM and SWASH have been used (see Figure 1). The first one can solve both Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes and the Volume Averaged Reynolds Averaged Navier–Stokes equations. The second one solves the non-linear shallow water equations with a non-hydrostatic pressure term, representing a simplified form of the Navier-Stokes equations, with associated limited computational cost. The numerical models have been validated based on experimental tests carried out in a wave flume at the University of L’Aquila.
Tsunami Ping-Pong: Generating The Whole Tsunami Event
Authors: CHANDLER IAN , ROSSETTO TIZIANA , ADAMS KEITH , CELS JONAS , MCGOVERN DAVID
Published: May 2024

Considerable progress has been made over the past two decades in modelling representative tsunami waves in the laboratory. Developments such as the pneumatic tsunami simulator, TS, (Chandler et al, 2021), large wave paddles (Schimmels et al, 2016) and pump driven systems (Goseberg et al, 2013) have allowed full incident tsunami time series to be reproduced at large enough scales to provide reliable physical modelling data. These developments have enabled new insights into the time-varying influence of tsunami waves on run-up (McGovern et al, 2018), buildings (Foster et al, 2017), coastal structures (McGovern et al, 2022) and in particular the scour of sediments around these structures (McGovern et al, 2019). These advances are changing the way engineers and others design and plan for tsunami. However we are still only modelling ‘half the story’.
In all existing published studies, the experiments simulated the effect of a single incident wave. We have so far ignored two significant elements of real tsunami events. Firstly, the rundown or return flow and secondly, the effect of multiple waves within a wave train. Both these aspects are difficult to model physically, particularly as the return flow and subsequent waves require a representative topography downstream of a test section. In most facilities there is not enough flume left to create this overland topography. In addition, changing this bathymetry to represent different scenarios such as a coastal plain or a small foreshore and an inland cliff, requires significant modelling effort and cost.
To solve these challenges we propose the use of two TSs facing each other with the test section in between. This concept is shown in Figure 1. This extended abstract presents data from initial trials of the dual TS system conducted at HR Wallingford in 2023 during a three-day test window as part of the MAKEWAVES collaboration. The importance of simulating the return flow from a tsunami is demonstrated through its influence on scour around a rectangular building.
Considerations for designing a new wave generator system in an existing flume
Authors: BELLETER DENNIS
Published: May 2024

Van Halteren Technologies Boxtel B.V. (formerly known as Bosch Rexroth B.V.) has designed, manufactured, installed, and commissioned the new electrical driven wave generator system in the existing Large Wave Flume (GWK) at FZK in Hannover.
The aim of the replacement was designing a new wave generator system, with optimized performance in the given space in the existing flume, and replace the hydraulics for an electrically driven system.
The width and depth of the flume are five and seven meters respectively. The water depth is variable up to five meters. In order to get the most out of the finite length of the flume the space for the wave maker is limited. Given the limited space for the wave maker we had to apply a dry back wave generator system which has the advantage of a rather compact design compared to a wet back wave generator. This also introduced challenges such as a seal system around the moving wave segment at the side walls and floor as well as a compensator for compensating the static force of the variable water depth. The hydrodynamic forces are provided by the electrically driven system.
The wave generator has been provided with an Active Reflection Compensation system (ARC) for compensating the reflected waves traveling to the wave segment. This ARC must be capable to handle variable water depths, even when the water depth is changed in order to simulate high and low water conditions.

Published: May 2024

Large scale overflow experiments allow testing erosion resistance of levee slopes under variable conditions, such as different soil parameters, grass lengths, presence of trees and presence of animal burrows. Within the scope of the Interreg-funded project Polder2C’s an extensive series of such experiments took place in Belgium and the Netherlands in 2020-2022 (Koelewijn et al. 2022). A variety of techniques was used to monitor critical parameters of those experiments, many of which were tried for the first time. One of them was Electric Resistivity Tomography (ERT) that was used to provide a time-series of images illustrating changes in the levee subsoil during testing. The experiment took place on a levee section where mole burrows had been previously detected, and where the presence of an extensive subsurface system of mole tunnels had been verified on the landward slope of the levee (figure 1).

The sea-level rise and intensification of extreme weather events pose a significant threat to coastal regions and their communities worldwide. With significant wave heights reaching over 5 m, and wave periods over 10 s (Mendes & Oliveira, 2021), the Portuguese coastline is exposed to major coastal erosion, due to the marine harsh conditions of the North Atlantic. In the last decades the preferred strategy to protect the coastline from coastal hazards has been the construction of hard-engineering structures such as seawalls and breakwater, which tend to be expensive and unsustainable, often becoming obsolete and were not designed to account for the increasing sea level. As such, there has been a growing trend over the adoption of soft, adaptative, and nature-based coastal protection measures (Pranzini et al., 2015).
Longline seaweed aquaculture systems have long been identified as a nature-based, soft structure with wave damping potential by several studies performed by Mork (1996), Liu et al. (2015) among others. The AquaBreak Project aims at exploring the synergetic applications of seaweed aquaculture systems on food production, coastal protection, and sea decarbonization on the Portuguese coast with the creation of the AOS - the AquaBreak Offshore System (Miranda et al., 2023; Proença et al., 2023). However, in order to create a strategic and effective implementation plan for the AOS, it is important to assess the wave damping potential of such structure exposed to the common maritime conditions of the Portuguese Coast.

Published: May 2024

In art, as in other artistic-educational activities, we find psychophysical release, equally in the role of passive recipient, active performer, or even on an expressive level, through our creation. In this publication, we seek to emphasize the variability of play that can be integrated into the arteducational activities of preschool children. Music is very close to the dramatic, and therefore verbal, arts. The paper gives practical examples of working with music and motion, with the possibility to creatively embody and imitate dramatic situations arising from the nature of music. At the same time, it is important to create space in education for individuals to gain a positive relationship with the arts through their activity, improvisation and personal experiences.

The United Nations Organization is a project of international peace cooperation undertaken by the peaceful nations of the world, which have learned from history. Throughout its history, this global international organisation has prevented many international armed conflicts, avoided many and ended many. Despite the enormous human, moral and material sacrifices of all the wars fought around the world, it is clear that a part of the world’s human population has not yet learned the lessons of the history
of wars. The persistence of war conflicts between nations in the 21st century is a testimony to this fact. One of the most recent armed conflicts to erupt and threaten the entire world is the genocidal war waged between the Palestinian-Arab organisation Hamas and the State of Israel. This article highlights some of the stages of its emergence, its course and its possible implications for the world peace.

Challenges to Georgia’s EU Integration: Is the Georgian ‘Russian Law 2.0’ contrary to the Georgian Constitution?
Authors: Lapa Viktoriia , Frosini Justin
Published: May 2024

The so-called Euro-Atlantic provisions have been inserted into the Georgian constitution in 2018 and aim “to ensure the full integration of Georgia into the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization“. The Georgian draft law ‘On Transparency of Foreign Influence’, the so-called ‘Russian Law 2.0’, is likely to be contrary to those Euro-Atlantic provisions in the Georgian Constitution. Georgia has EU candidate status since late 2023. According to statements by EU representatives, the law is incompatible with Georgia’s EU aspirations. If the law is passed by Parliament, despite ongoing pro-Western protests in the streets of Tbilisi, it remains to be seen what the constitutional Court will make of it, and whether Russian influence can be contained by the Court, which is itself, under pro-Russian political influence.

Evaluation of Distribution Transformer Placement Optimal Based on Load Balance
Authors: Triwiyatno Aris , Winardi Bambang
Published: May 2024

The distribution system is divided into primary and secondary distribution networks. The primary distribution network is the network from the main substation transformer (GI) to the distribution substation, while the secondary is the channel network from the distribution substation transformer to the consumer or load. The primary distribution network is better known as the medium voltage network (JTM 20kV) while the secondary distribution is the low voltage network (JTR 220/380V). The distribution network is the part of the electric power system that is closest to customers or loads compared to the transmission network. Currently, network electricity conditions throughout Indonesia are experiencing a decline of 5% which is due to various factors such as the medium-scale diameter of the conductors used, so at the farthest SR the value of overvoltage is 10%, the allowable voltage drop and must anticipate an increase in electrical load of 22.7 %, the placement of the transformer is not optimal and the distance the electrical energy travels from the transformer to the load is not paid enough attention so that the capacity of a transformer is not optimal and the voltage drop is also greater. Given these conditions, re-evaluation and planning is needed that takes into account planning criteria such as allowable voltage drops and continuity of electricity services so that optimization of the network used can emerge.

The capital market has an important role in supporting a country's economy because the capital market has two functions at once, namely the economic function and the financial function. The capital market is a meeting place between parties who have excess funds (investors) and parties who need funds (companies) by buying and selling securities. The presence of the capital market has an important role for investors, both individual investors and business entities. They can channel the excess funds they have to invest, so that entrepreneurs can obtain additional capital funds to expand their business network from investors in the capital market. Issuers are parties conducting public offerings or companies that obtain funds through the capital market, both private and state-owned companies that seek capital from the stock exchange by issuing securities such as bonds, rights issues, warrants or shares (Malkan et al., 2021).

The Asnafs' Large-Scale SMART Paddy Field (SMART SBBA) project is an initiative to consolidate rice paddy land through contract farming through a management system. It is to optimize the use of existing resources and increase the efficiency of planting activities and post-harvest production. The project initiative appears to be successful in helping rice farmers manage their fields systematically and increase the yield of higher-quality rice. SMART SBBA by the Kedah State Zakat Board (LZNK) has the potential to eradicate the poverty rate among asnafs in Kedah, in addition to boosting the local economy. Therefore, this preliminary study is to explore the SMART SBBA project through the experience and involvement of paddy farmers in the first season and the second season. This study applied exploratory and descriptive methods from focus group interview data. Results showed that the farmers were satisfied with the overall SMART SBBA LZNK management. However, most rice farmers face the challenges of agricultural input costs, including the high cost of seedlings, fertilizers, and pesticides, which is a huge obstacle for rice farmers in carrying out rice planting activities.

The present research, entitled “Assessment of Variability, Heritability, and Genetic Advance in Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.),” was conducted on 15 genotypes with 16 characteristics. The analysis of variance revealed that genotypic variation was extremely significant for all of the traits under consideration. Additionally, the phenotypic coefficient of variance was larger than the genotypic coefficient of variation in magnitude. Quantitative features include the number of pods and kernels per plant, days to bloom initiation, days to 50% flowering, and days to maturity, test weight, shelling percent, and kernel yield per plant showed high heritability indicating that the variation was caused by additive gene action. The correlation estimates provide a better understanding of yield components and studies on genotypic and phenotypic correlation coefficients of different traits help the plant breeder during selection.
