Meteorology and Wave ClimatePart II-2 • Estimating Marine and Coastal Winds • No significant changes, as per SPM 1984 • Winds from near-surface observations • Winds from pressure fields and weather maps • Modification for • Level • Duration • Overland or overwater • Air-sea temperature stability

  9. ESTIMATION OF NEARSHORE WAVESPart II-3 Refraction, diffraction, shoaling, breaking, dissipation due to friction, dissipation due to percolation, additional growth due to winds, wave-current interactions, wave-wave interactions

  10. 1. A large storm generates deepwater waves that propagate across shallow water while the waves continue to grow due to wind 2. A large storm generates waves in a remote area and as they cross shallow water with negligible wind they propagate to the site as swell 3. Wind blows over a shallow water fetch and as the waves grow they interact with the bottom Types 1 and 3 require numerical model whereas 2 can be approximated using a monochromatic wave Three Classic Cases of Wave Transformation

  11. RCPWAVE • Based on Mild-Slope equation • Includes wave breaking (first occurrence) • Consistent with theories used in calculation of longshore sediment • transport and shoreline change • Suitable for regions: 10’s of km • Grid resolution: fractions of wave lengths (1/10 or smaller) • Solution technique: finite difference • Neglects reflections off of structures and rapid changes in bathymetry • Output gives wave height and direction variability with changing • water levels

  12. REFDIF • Based on Mild Slope – wave current model (Kirby (1984)) • Simple breaking criteria (H = 0.78 d) • Includes damping due to Bottom boundary layer; Sand-bed percolation; Turbulent bottom boundary layer • Wave non-linearity • Smooth correction to Stokes for shallow water • Numerical noise filter • Suitable for regions: 10’s of km • Grid resolution: 5 to 6 grid points per wavelength (optimum) • Solution technique: finite difference • Neglects reflections off of structures and rapid changes in bathymetry

  13. Steady state Spectral Model • Solves complete radiative transfer equation and includes • Propagation Effects – refraction, diffraction, shoaling, wave-current • Source term effects – breaking, wind, wave-wave • Deals with stochastic wave components so suitable • over very large distances • Can also incorporate phase information over short distances • near discontinuities such as structures • Assumptions • Nearshore transformations dominated by conservative processes • (refraction, shoaling and diffraction) • Predictions based on uni-directional monochromatic wave theories • Can provide solutions equivalent to behaviour of directional spectra STWAVE

  14. Advanced Model Limitations Almost all of these models are regularly used to simulate conditions outside a strict interpretation of the limits, with the results often effectively accurate CEM specified Major Limitations RCPWAVE – inaccurate for wave crossing behind shoals or in the vicinity of structures. Wave approach not too OBLIQUE REFDIF– should not be used with highly oblique waves STWAVE – under-represent wave focusing for narrow swell

  23. Planning & Design Process • Site Characterization • Shore Protection Projects • Beach Fill Design • Navigation Projects • Inlets/Harbors • Environmental Enhancement • Federal Role in Hazard Mitigation

  24. Part V.1 – Planning and Design Process Six Major Planning Steps Generic Design Chart Planning Coordination Requirements Design Constraints Data Needs & Sources The process of developing a coastal project must be iterativeto ensure that the final product is optimumfrom both the technical and economic viewpoints acceptable to the various levels of decision makers and all project partners.

  25. Getting Started • “What is the problem?”*** • To achieve a successful coastal project plan and design requires that the engineer must start with a completely open mind, one without preconceived notions of the ultimate solution or a specific solution to advocate. ***“What is the project trying to accomplish?”(Quantify expectations!)

  26. Project Need Project Problem Statement CP Module Damages Quantify w/o Project Condition Is the Problem Statement Still Valid Yes Abandon Project Exit CP Module Simple Functional Analysis and Identification of Alternatives No Yes Environmental Economic, Political, Aesthetic Constraints Yes Did You Fulfill All of Problem Statement? No No Modify Project Problem Statement Yes Is Federal Participation Justified? No Yes Economics Select Alternative Generic Project Development Chart

  27. Breakwater Non-Structural Seawall Other Dredging, etc. Do Nothing Environmental and Economic Constraints Modify Functional Design? Select/Modify Functional Design CP Module Test Functional Design Is Functional Design OK? Continue to Figure V-2-2

  28. Design Constraints • Scientific and Engineering Understanding of Nature • The CEM emphasizes the understanding and ability to analytically and numerically model nature. • 2. Economics • 3. Environmental • 4. Institutional, Political (Social), Legal • 5. Aesthetics

  29. The “CP Module” SBAS ADCIRC Coastal Process Module, is defined as a repository of physical data and analysis tools relevant to the coastal problem. Wind, waves, currents, water levels, bathymetry, geomorphology, stratigraphy, sediment characteristics, sediment transport processes, etc. and the analysis tools (mainly numerical models) make up the CP Module. A fully 3D, dynamic model to simulate coastal processes at different scales for different settings does not exist. STWAVE GENESIS SBEACH ETC.

  30. Costs Initial Costs Maintenance Costs Alteration/Removal Costs Total, Life-Cycle Cost Design Life Interest Rate Damage Failure Balanced Design Storm damage reduction & mitigation Ecosystems restoration. Recreation and tourism benefits Waterfront property (greater value and generates higher tax revenue). Coastal, beach related travel and tourism industry. Costs and Benefits

  31. Storm Damage Reduction Benefits Methodology • Inventory structures. • Calculate depreciated replacement cost of the structures and content value. • Obtain the water level, storm frequency-of-occurrence data for the site and accompanying wave and shoreline erosion data. • Obtain and run storm damage calculation models. • Apply the models for without project conditions and for considered alternatives and sub-alternatives.

  32. Sea Level Rise • Over the last 100 years – 30 cm (3mm / yr) on the East Coast and 11 cm (1.1mm / yr) along the West Coast. • Gulf of Mexico coast is high variable – 100 cm in the Mississippi delta plain to 20 cm along Florida’s West Coast. • Statistics related to and impact of sea level rise are debated regularly in scientific circles. • Existing rates of mean sea level rise have not been a severe economic constraint in shore protection design. • Anthropogenic effects (ie; jettied tidal inlets) causing downdrift, beach erosion have resulted in larger impacts. • Long-term, relative changes in sea level can be incorporated into storm surge analysis.
