Abstract. The empirical formulations to forecast landslide generated water waves, recently defined in the framework of a research program funded by Italian National Dam Office RID (Registro Italiano Dighe), are here used study three real cases subaerial landslides which fell down italian artificial reservoirs. It is well known that impulse waves constitute very dangerous menace for human communities living shoreline basin or downstream dam. In 1963, became tragedy, when 270 millions m3...
This paper presents new physical model experiments on tsunamis generated by landslides at the coast of a conical island. The have been carried out in large wave tank; radius island coastline and falling height landslide varied during experimental campaign. is reproduced solid body shaped as half an ellipsoid. Tsunami runup measured using special gauges; detailed analysis along presented, with attention to role each packet evolution envelope first group waves.
The evaluation of the coastal hazard and vulnerability caused by storm conditions is an important issue related to flooding erosion. Although these topics have been widely tackled past research, they cannot be avoided, but need carefully managed local authorities in order limit damage infrastructure, protect human life, habitats sensitive species. Usually, this through common approaches at regional scale. This paper illustrates first steps a research project aimed assessing wave-induced...
Abstract The accurate modeling of the landslide‐generated tsunami characteristics in so‐called near‐field is crucial for many practical applications. In this paper, we present a new full‐3‐D numerical method tsunamis generated by rigid and impermeable landslides OpenFOAM® based on overset mesh technique. approach has been successfully validated through reproduction past experiments triggered wedge at sloping coast. applied to perform detailed study wave features induced submerged landslides....
The snow depth and the increase of after three consecutive days snowfall, hereinafter referred to as ds DH3gg, respectively, are typically chosen for avalanche protection hazard assessment purposes. With specific reference Central Apennines (Central Italy), preferable provider observations related applications is MeteoMont, which supplies at 34 manual stations, measured between 1978 2023. area interest also covered by ERA5-Land, over a period 73 years, from 1950 In terms temporal, spatial...
Transient waves generated by a box falling into water are analytically and experimentally investigated (Scott Russell wave generator). Within the frame of linear theory, new analytical solution for leading is proposed. It shown that both impulse pressure box's impact on free surface velocity field during underwater phase (wave generator type boundary condition) have to be taken account when predicting amplitude period. The solution, in satisfactory agreement with experiments performed...
The water wave generation by a freely falling rigid body is examined in this paper. Two different two-dimensional numerical approaches have been utilized to simulate the time histories of fluid motion, free surface deformation, and vertical displacement rectangular-shape body. While first approach based on Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations, with k-ϵ closure model compute turbulence intensity, second uses smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method. Numerical simulations using...
Abstract. This paper investigates the feasibility of Tsunami Early Warning Systems for small volcanic islands focusing on warning waves generated by landslides at coast island itself. The critical concern is if there enough time to spread alarm once system has recognized that a tsunami been generated. We use results large scale physical model experiment in order estimate tsunamis take travel around inundating coast. discuss how and where it convenient place instruments measurement waves.
A new experimental campaign on a 2D movable-bed physical model, reproducing typical nourishment sandy beach profile, is being carried out in the wave flume of Laboratory Coastal Engineering at Politecnico di Bari (Bari, Italy). The main aim to assess short-term evolution nourishment, relying mixed solution built deployment Beach Drainage System (BDS) and rubble-mound detached submerged breakwater. This paper aims illustrating findings. Tests presented herein deal with both unprotected...
