The Mousuni Island in West Bengal, India is wide-open to Bay of Bengal. This island by virtue of its location is exposed to river flow as well as wave action. It is thus subjected to severe erosion along its south-western coastal stretch and also significantly affecting agriculture due to seawater inundation. This is due to the lower level of bund crest elevation combined with high water levels during coastal flooding. The most suitable method to arrest the shore erosion and salt water intrusion is to divert the flow gradually toward the deeper section of the channel. To meet this requirement, after carrying out a comprehensive profiling of the existing bund, bank connected series of spurs with locally available construction materials and unskilled labor are proposed. In order to design these spurs, the magnitude and direction of sediment movement along the stretch is estimated. The layout of protection measures is proposed based on a detailed analysis of site conditions and the environmental conditions. The tranquility inside the proposed coastal protecting structure is substantiated with a two-dimensional horizontal flow model. Furthermore, the behavior of the shorelines has been studied numerically with the proposed coastal protection measure. The detailed analysis of the results from the numerical model and the protection measure are discussed in this article.

The effect of water depth on the power absorption by a single heaving point absorber wave energy converter, attached to a hydraulic power take-off system, is simulated and analysed. The wave energy flux for changing water depths is presented and the study is carried out at a location in the north-west Portuguese coast, favourable for wave power generation. This analysis is based on a procedure to modify the wave spectrum as the water depth reduces, namely, the TMA spectrum (Transformation spectrum). The present study deals with the effect of water depth on the spectral shape and significant wave heights. The reactive control strategy, which includes an external damping coefficient and a negative spring term, is used to maximize power absorption by the wave energy converter. The presented work can be used for making decisions regarding the best water depth for the installation of point absorber wave energy converters in the Portuguese nearshore.

The MED Programme is part of the EU Regional Policy and operates in the framework of the European Territorial Cooperation objective. In 2014, the MED Programme approved 14 thematic projects specifically targeted on maritime context with two of them addressing marine renewable energy and renewable energy in coastal areas: Bluene and Enercoast. These projects aim at contributing to the deployment of marine renewable energy technologies in the Mediterranean by gathering data, developing mapping activities, identifying policy gaps and addressing other obstacles hindering transnational cooperation potential. The objective of this article is to analyse the delivered results and outputs of these projects against the identified challenges and roadmap defined by the European Commission. Results were evaluated under a transferability and continuation approach applied to the period 2014–2020. This article also identifies and suggests ways in which transnational cooperation would enhance obtained results towards a higher implementation of marine renewable energy in the Mediterranean.

Frequent tsunamis across the globe have devastated the coasts and led to significant loss of life and property. This calls for a better understanding and estimation of the tsunami characteristics. Considering the scale of the problem, numerical modelling is the most suitable method for tsunami simulation and understanding. Most tsunamis are long-period wave and governed by shallow water equations. Although tsunami is expected to initiate in the deeper waters with very less height, it may have significant amplification while traversing over the slopes. In this study, an attempt is made to understand the effect of continental slope on the transmission, propagation and run-up of tsunami. This study provides better understanding of the physical process through computation of tsunami run-up height and arrival time. To carry out this investigation and to get a preliminary understanding, a one-dimensional numerical model study is carried out using shallow water equations. These equations are solved using Crank–Nicolson finite difference approximation method on a staggered grid. This study is carried out by considering N-wave-type tsunami profile with leading depression (trough). In this study, various continental slope profiles available along the Indian coast were considered. The amplification or attenuation of the tsunami characteristics over these cross-sections was studied. Significant change in the tsunami run-up is observed for different continental slope and water depth on continental shelf.

Among the different technologies developed in order to harness wave energy, the Oscillating Water Column devices are the most accredited for an actual diffusion. Recently, Boccotti has patented the REWEC1 (REsonant sea Wave Energy Converter solution 1), a submerged breakwater that performs an active coast protection, embedding an Oscillating Water Column device, which is capable of operating under resonant conditions with that sea state, which gives the highest yearly energy contribution. The REWEC1 dynamic behavior can be approximated by means of a mass-spring-damper system. According to this approximation, a criterion for evaluating the oscillating natural frequency of the REWEC1 has been derived. This criterion has been validated against both experimental results and computational fluid dynamics simulations, performed on a REWEC1 laboratory-scale model. The numerical simulations have shown a good agreement between measurements and predictions.

A systematic study of geophysical data of the Eastern Continental Margin of India was taken up to identify the land–ocean tectonic lineaments over the east coast of India and the possible neotectonic activity associated with them. These studies helped in delineating the offshore extension of some of the coastal lineaments. Analysis of magnetic, gravity and shallow seismic data, combined with reported seismicity data, indicates moderate seismicity associated with some of these land–ocean tectonics of the Eastern Continental Margin of India. The coastal/offshore regions of Vizianagaram (north of Visakhapatnam) and Ongole of the Andhra Pradesh margin and the Puducherry shelf of the Tamil Nadu margin have been identified as zones of weakness where neotectonic activity has been established. Bathymetry data over the Eastern Continental Margin of India revealed the morphology of the shelf and slope of this margin, which in turn can be used as the baseline data for tsunami surge models. Detailed bathymetry map and sections of the Nagapattinam–Cuddalore shelf (from 10.5° to about 12°N) indicate that one of the main reasons for the higher run-up heights and inundation in the Nagapattinam–Cuddalore coast during the Indian Ocean Tsunami of 26 December 2004 could be the concave shape of the shelf with a gentle slope, which might have accelerated the tsunami surge to flush through at a rapid force. Structural control also appears to be a contributing factor for the tsunami surge.

The Cook Strait Canyon is a submarine canyon which lies within 10 km of Wellington, the capital city of New Zealand. The canyon flanks are scarred with the evidence of past landslides that may have caused large local tsunamis. City planning and civil defence management require information on the magnitude and frequency of these tsunamis to adequately plan for them. Submarine-landslide-generated tsunamis are by nature local features. While they may be catastrophic in the near field, they are generally far smaller scales than co-seismic tsunamis and their energy does not travel very far. Including them within a comprehensive tsunami hazard assessment requires accounting for a large number of potential landslide sources. Unless we only use simple rules of thumb to approximate tsunami height, this requires considerable computing power. This article describes a technique for expanding two-dimensional vertical-slice tsunami generation by landslide modelling into a two-dimensional horizontal surface which can be used for tsunami propagation and inundation modelling. As such, it spans the gap between full three-dimensional modelling of the landslide and simple initialisation.

The Indian Tsunami Early Warning System situated at Indian National Center for Ocean Information Services, Hyderabad, India, monitors real-time earthquake activity throughout the Indian Ocean to evaluate potential tsunamigenic earthquakes. The functions of the Indian Tsunami Early Warning System earthquake monitoring system include detection, location and determination of the magnitude of potentially tsunamigenic earthquakes occurring in the Indian Ocean. The real-time seismic monitoring network comprises 17 broadband Indian seismic stations transmitting real-time earthquake data through VSAT communication to the central receiving stations located at the Indian Meteorological Department, New Delhi, and the Indian National Center for Ocean Information Services, Hyderabad, simultaneously for processing and interpretation. In addition to this, earthquake data from around 300 global seismic stations are also received at the Indian National Center for Ocean Information Services in near-real-time. Most of these data are provided by IRIS Global Seismographic Network and GEOFON Extended Virtual Network through Internet. The Indian National Center for Ocean Information Services uses SeisComP3 software for auto-location of earthquake parameters (location, magnitude, focal depth and origin time). All earthquakes of Mw >5.0 are auto-located within 5–10 minutes of the occurrence of the earthquake. Since its inception in October 2007 to date, the warning centre has monitored and reported 55 tsunamigenic earthquakes (under-sea and near coast earthquakes of magnitude ⩾6.5) in the Indian Ocean region. Comparison of the earthquake parameters (elapsed time, magnitude, focal depth and location) estimated by the Indian Tsunami Early Warning System with the US Geological Survey suggests that the Indian Tsunami Early Warning System is performing well and has achieved the target set up by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission.

Natural processes like wave action, tides, winds, storm surges, and tsunamis constantly shape the shoreline by inducing erosion and accretion. Coastlines with intact vegetated dunes, mangroves, and reefs act as a buffer zone against wave attack on beaches. This article discusses the effect of simulated seagrass on wave height attenuation and wave run-up through an experimental study. The tests were carried out with submerged artificial seagrass subjected to varying wave climate in a 50-m-long wave flume. Measurements of wave heights along the seagrass meadow and the wave run-up on a 1:12 sloped beach were taken for wave heights ranging from 0.08 to 0.16 m at an interval of 0.02 m and wave periods 1.8 and 2 seconds in water depths of 0.40 and 0.45 m.

Many new types of breakwaters have been constructed of lateto fulfill the ever increasing demand of marine traffic. The quarter circle breakwater (QBW) is a recent type of breakwater developed on the lines of an earlier semicircular breakwater (SBW). QBW may be without perforations, seaside perforated or both sides perforated. A series of laboratory experiments were conducted in a two dimensional monochromatic wave flume on an emerged seaside perforated non-overtopping quarter circle breakwater model to study its stability against sliding. The scale of the model was 1:30. A range of incident wave heights (Hi) and wave periods (T) were generated in the flume simulating the wave climate off Mangaluru coast in the Karnataka State of India. The experimental data so collected was analyzed to understand the variation of the non-dimensional stability parameter with incident wave steepness for different values of dimensionless depth parameter In the end a nomogram was developed for computing the sliding stability of the breakwater.

The experimental data so collected was analyzed to understand the variation of the non-dimensional stability parameter with incident wave steepness for different values of dimensionless depth parameter In the end a nomogram was developed for computing the sliding stability of the breakwater.","PeriodicalId":105024,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Ocean and Climate Systems","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127425714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
