The catastrophic effects of recent tsunamis revealed the vulnerability of coastal communities
and critical infrastructure to such extreme events. On-site reconnaissance surveys showed …

A framework combining a tsunami flow model and debris (large floating object) transport
model was developed to evaluate the kinematics of multiple debris and sequential hazards …

The evaluation of the impact of tsunami-borne debris collisions is important in designing
tsunami-resistant structures and quantifying the risk for regional and industrial facilities …

Floods can transport debris of a very wide range of dimensions, from cohesive sediments to
large floating debris, such as trees and cars. The latter increases the risk associated with …

Amongst extreme hydrodynamic events are bore-and surge-type flow motions that are
observed in the context of storm surges induced by tropical cyclones, but also occur when …

This paper presents numerical simulations of the propagation, shoaling and run-up of full-
scale tsunami waves. The simulations are performed with a model solving Reynolds …

A woody debris jam around a bridge pier causes a change in flow structure and results in
additional scour and an increase in the hydraulic head upstream of the pier, threatening its …

The damage caused by tsunamis to coastal communities is often not only the result of the
flowing water itself, but also of transported debris. Although there have been efforts to …

Coastal regions often feature seawalls situated behind sand dunes, introducing unique
topographical factors that significantly influence ship drift and collision behavior. This study …

Extreme hydrodynamic events such as hurricanes or tsunamis threaten coastal regions in
particular. Such hazards must be assessed and appropriately incorporated into building …
