Offshore structures become colonized by marine orga-nisms after a short period of time, whose common benthic communities depend among others on geographic location, water depth, water temperature, food supply, salinity and oxygen content of the water (Kröncke and Bergfeld, 2003; Shi et al., 2012). While biofouling can be categorized in biological terms as bivalves, kelp, algae, barnacles, tubeworms and other species (van der Stap et al., 2016; Wilhelmsson and Malm, 2008), engineers mostly distinguish between hard and soft marine growth based on the strength of their outer shell alone (Shi et al., 2012; Skaugset and Baarholm, 2008). Due to an increasing demand for sustainable energy, the offshore renewables industry experiences significant growth. However, many uncertainties persist in the consideration of biofouling, specifically when calculating loads accor-ding to the Morison concept, the influence of marine fouling on fatigue reassessment, on the flow velocities around cylinders and the vortex formation under waves. For the first time, the flow around cylinders with different artificial marine biofouling was recorded and analyzed in an extensive experimental study using a comprehensive 4D particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) system.
近海结构在短时间内被海洋生物占领,其共同的底栖生物群落除其他外取决于地理位置、水深、水温、食物供应、盐度和水的氧含量(Kröncke和Bergfeld, 2003;Shi et al., 2012)。生物污垢在生物学上可分为双壳类、海带、藻类、藤壶、管虫和其他物种(van der Stap et al., 2016;Wilhelmsson和Malm, 2008),工程师主要根据其外壳的强度来区分硬和软海洋生长(Shi et al., 2012;Skaugset and Baarholm, 2008)。由于对可持续能源的需求不断增加,海上可再生能源行业经历了显着增长。然而,在考虑生物污染时仍然存在许多不确定性,特别是在根据morrison概念计算载荷时,海洋污染对疲劳重新评估的影响,对圆柱体周围流速的影响以及波浪下涡的形成。利用综合四维粒子跟踪测速(PTV)系统,首次记录和分析了不同人工海洋生物污染条件下圆柱体周围的流动情况。

Onshore wind can significantly affect wave overtopping process and increase mean overtopping discharge. Thus, the wind should be an important variable in coastal design process. However, despite many researches have analyzed the influence of wind on the overtopping, there is still a lack of exhaustive knowledge about this phenomenon. To further analyze the wind effects, the CFD model FLOW-3D has been used to investigate wave overtopping at vertical seawalls. The single-fluid approach has been adopted, i.e. the presence of wind has been simulated via the wind shear stress on the sea surface. The main aim of this work is to verify the ability of this simplified numerical modelling to capture the macro-processes involved in the phenomenon of wave overtopping. The presence of wind shear stress has led to physically consistent results. It confirmed that as the mean overtopping discharge decreases, as the wind effect increases. Furthermore, numerical results have shown that the advection of water droplets behind the structure by the wind is the key mechanism for the enhancement of wave overtopping. Finally, by gathering numerical results and laboratory data carried out by Durbridge (2021), a new predictive formula to estimate the wind factor is provided.

To mitigate coastal erosion in the sectors Barra-Vagueira and Figueira da Foz-Leirosa (NW of Portugal), Portuguese coastal authority has promoted the discussion on the feasibility of implementing a sand bypassing system to restore natural littoral sediment transport. This study synthesizes the main results of the proposed solutions for Aveiro and Figueira da Foz tidal inlets. The methodology to develop the study compromised tree main phases that included the historical characterization of the study area, the preliminary design of different sand bypassing solutions for each coastal inlet and the discussion of their economic feasibility. The physical performance of the sand bypass solutions demonstrated that several bypassing solutions are technically viable to mitigate coastal erosion. However, it was found that the solution is economically viable only at the coastal sector Figueira da Foz-Leirosa.
为了减轻Barra-Vagueira和Figueira da Foz-Leirosa(葡萄牙西北部)地区的海岸侵蚀,葡萄牙海岸当局推动了关于实施绕沙系统以恢复自然沿海沉积物运输的可行性的讨论。本研究综合了Aveiro和Figueira da Foz潮汐入口提出的解决方案的主要结果。开展研究的方法包括三个主要阶段,包括研究区域的历史特征,每个沿海入口不同的避沙解决方案的初步设计以及对其经济可行性的讨论。砂层旁通解决方案的物理性能表明,几种旁通解决方案在技术上是可行的,可以缓解海岸侵蚀。但是,人们发现,这种解决办法只有在沿海地区Figueira da Foz-Leirosa在经济上是可行的。

Nature-based solutions (NBS) represent a new field of research and engineering applications, becoming increasingly popular in the coastal engineering field. Salt marsh restoration, an example of NBS, is particularly appealing due to the variety of benefits they can provide, especially their capacity to induce sediment accretion, potentially keeping pace with sea-level rise. This study investigates the applicability of the flexible fluid-structure (FSI) interaction module being developed for open-source software REEF3D to the motion of marsh plants under wave action using data from a physical model study performed by Paul et al. (2016). The model consistently overestimates the drag force response of a flexible plastic plant surrogate under wave action. This suggests that this new tool may not be suited for this case. However, further investigation must be performed to test the limits of the model’s application.

Coastal communities have been prone to extreme inundations generated by storm surges and tsunamis. Especially inundated overland flows adversely impact low-lying areas. Therefore, mitigation solutions are essential in protecting human lives and infrastructures. So far, hard structures (gray structures) have been widely used to protect coastal communities against severe flooding. Recently, Natural and Nature-Based Features (NNBF, green structures) also have been studied for flood hazard mitigation, such as mangroves (Tomiczek et al., 2020), dunes, reefs, etc. However, the inter-comparison studies of gray and green structures in the flooding and force reduction have not been investigated sufficiently. Therefore, the present study investigated the physical and numerical model comparison of gray and green structures regarding flooding hydrodynamics and forces on the buildings.

The Belgian coast is primarily sandy and is locally subject to erosion (Deronde, 2004). Traditionally, erosion was counteracted using hard engineering structures like groynes, seawalls and sea dikes. Nowadays, the Belgian government uses a different strategy by adopting a more soft and dynamic approach where possible. Many ‘soft’ managing activities at the Belgian coast are carried out in the form of regular and routine sand nourishments to cope for future flooding risks and coastal erosion (Houthuys, 2012). This method gives room to a new approach for coastal management where the natural elements and processes facilitate the development of new engineered dune areas at locations where traditional dike structures currently protect the hinterland. In the context of climate change and strict requirements for water safety, these hard to adapt engineering structures will not resist future flood events and more innovative solutions like dune in front of a dike principles to deal with rising sea level are receiving considerable attention. As a result, concepts are worked out in which traditional sea dikes are reinforced with newly created dune systems, offering a high level of protection of coastal infrastructure and at the same time offering a more natural appearance and higher ecological and socio economical values. In the framework of the SARCC project, one pilot site is realized in Raversijde. Besides the coastal defense function of the artificial dune, a second benefit is achieved: mitigating the nuisance, created by aeolian sand transport and preventing roads and tram tracks at the dike crest to be buried in sand.

As an important contribution to the fulfilment of renewable energy targets, the offshore wind sector in Europe has grown significantly over the past decade (WindEurope 2021). Jacket structures are becoming more widely used as substructures for offshore wind turbines to accommodate the expansion towards greater water depth and to provide a stable basis for megastructures with hub heights greater than 200 m. However, there have been few studies (Chen et al., 2014; Baelus et al., 2018; Welzel et al., 2019; Welzel et al., 2020) that systematically address scour development at jacket structures. In addition, while the local equilibrium scour depth around pile foundations has been studied extensively in the past (e.g. Melville and Coleman, 2000; Sumer and Fredsøe, 2001; Schendel et al., 2020), there have been few studies on the development of spatial scour patterns, particularly around more complex offshore structures such as jackets. In this context, this study aims to improve the understanding of scour development around jacket type offshore wind foundations.

Sediment deprivation, hydrologic alteration, subsidence, sea level rise, and saltwater intrusion have been causing significant land loss in coastal Louisiana. Breton Sound combined with the nearby Barataria Bay, and Mississippi River Delta have lost approximately 1800 square kilometers (or 447,000 acres) of land, representing one of the highest land loss rates in the world since the 1930s when the Mississippi River was leveed. To address this problem, the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) initiated several sediment diversion projects in the Lower Mississippi River (LMR). The Mid- Breton Sediment Diversion (MBrSD) project is one of the costal restoration projects proposed to restore natural processes in Breton Sound, which can strategically reestablish hydrologic flows, carry land-building sediments, nourish marshes and sustain land.

The Nationwide Ocean Wave Information Network for Ports and Harbors (NOWPHAS) conducted by the Port and Harbor Bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) in Japan, uses a Doppler Wave Meter (DWM) as a standard equipment for wave observation. Depending on the situation, the system supplements the missing data by estimating surface waves based on water pressure data as appropriate. Meanwhile, in the case of cargo handling in harbors, the significant wave height is generally used as a criterion. It has been reported that even under conditions where wave heights are considered calm, there are many cases where large ship motions occur, causing problems with cargo handling operations. Since large ship motions occur when the long-period wave component is close to characteristic period of the vibration system consisting of the hull and mooring cables, it is necessary to examine the frequency domain based on spectra instead of the significant wave height. Therefore, in this study, the frequency-domain analysis was used as the basis for the estimation of surface waves from bottom pressure waves. The transfer function that relates the two wave quantities is estimated to convert the pressure wave to a water surface wave. The purpose of this study is to develop a method for estimating surface waves that can be used not only during storms, but also for examining the marginal loading wave conditions for long period waves at all times.

This is in contrast with tidal inlets where both observations and modeling studies are scarce. Here we present novel observations and modeling of infragravity waves over an ebb-tidal delta located at Ameland, the Netherlands. The objective is to understand the evolution of the free and bound infragravity waves as they propagate from the deeper shelf onto an ebb-tidal shoal and into the ebbchannel, establish their pathways and examine the potential in sediment transport. The latter is important in view of the anticipated large-scale ebb-tidal delta nourishment at this location to protect the coast from future storm impacts.
