Sea Dikes

The spectral wave period T m − 1 , 0 at the toe of sea-dikes is a crucial parameter to predict wave overtopping discharge over sea-dikes. It is known from literature that this period quickly increases when waves reach shallow foreshores; however, sometimes the assumption is made that the wave period remains constant from offshore to near-shore, leading to an underestimation of the near-shore wave period. Several formulae have been proposed to resolve the underestimation of wave overtopping discharges for very shallow foreshores. These corrective formulations confirm the tendency of underestimating the overtopping discharges over a very gently sloping foreshore but are not validated for foreshore slopes gentler than 1:500. The “equivalent slope” method based on a recent study is inappropriate for these very gently sloping foreshores due to the breaker parameter being much smaller than seven. This study proposes an extension of the correction and finds that spectral wave periods can reach values two times those offshore.

Rubble Mound Breakwaters

The paper presents the development of a new overtopping formula for berm breakwaters. Overtopping data from hydraulic model tests of berm breakwaters have been gathered and reanalysed in line with the procedure in the EurOtop Manual. The data shows a clear dependency on wave period or wave steepness, which is in contrast to the main conclusion of the CLASH project and the EurOtop Manual for conventional rubble mound breakwaters. The formula is roughly validated on prototype performance.

Typhoon Herb

In this study, SWAN model was first applied to obtain wave conditions during Typhoon Herb (1996) and Krosa (2007). Then the results were used for estimating the wave overtopping discharge with existing empirical formulae selected from EurOtop manual. In the EurOtop formulae, calculations of overtopping discharges can be improved by adapting average wave period (Tm-1,0) for swell conditions. The results show that the peak overtopping discharges during Typhoon Herb (1996) are larger than those during Typhoon Krosa (2007) at the two selected sites. In addition, the water depth at toe of eastern NTOU seawalls (NTOU 2) are shallower than that at northern NTOU seawall (NTOU 1) so that the discharges at NTOU 1 are larger than those at NTOU 2. The calculations show that the peak wave overtopping discharges during both typhoons are greater than the criteria for damages on back slope of seawalls, which agrees with the NTOU seawall failure event during Typhoon Herb. The predicted failure does not again happen to NTOU seawall during Typhoon Krosa implying the effective reduction in overtopping discharges by lifting up 1m of the crest after rebuilding the previously damaged seawall.

Multidimensional Statistics

A system of equations of thermobarometer for magnetite-silicate melt equilibrium was obtained by method of multidimensional statistics of 93 experimental data of a magnetite solubility in basaltic melts. Equations reproduce experimental data in a wide range of basalt compositions, temperatures and pressures with small errors. Verification of thermobarometers showed the maximum error in liquidus temperature reproducing does not exceed ±7 °C. The level of cumulative magnetite appearance in the vertical structure of Tsypringa, Kivakka, Burakovsky intrusions predicted with errors from ±10 to ±50 m.
