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.

Awareness of coastal landscapes vulnerability to both natural and man-made hazards induce monitor their evolution, adaptation, resilience develop appropriate defence strategies. The necessity transform the monitoring results into useful information is motivation present paper. Usually, this scope, a index deduced, by assigning ranking values different parameters governing processes. principal limitation procedure individual discretion used in ranking. Moreover, physical are generally...

Abstract. Wind, waves, tides, sediment supply, changes in relative sea level and human activities strongly affect shorelines, which constantly move response to these processes, over a variety of timescales. Thus, the implementation sound coastal zone management strategies needs reliable information on erosion and/or deposition processes. To suggest feasible way provide this is main reason for work. A chain approach proposed here, tested vulnerable site located along southern Italy, based...

The recent COVID-19 pandemic has constrained world governments to impose measures of restraint and social distancing which also involves coastal areas. One the most affected activities is tourism due travel restrictions imposed by precautionary measures. This reflected in recreative use strip. Consequently, beaches stretches small municipalities can potentially become contagious outbreaks if adequate control management are not promptly implemented. During 20th century, several factors, both...

This paper presents an experimental study of the transition from supercritical to subcritical flow at abrupt drop. The reports a wide range conditions and relevant regime charts. Long-term results show that some configurations tend behave quasiperiodically (i.e. oscillating patterns). have direct implications on design construction spillway stilling basins where drops may be used stabilise position jump. present proposes guidelines taking into account different types, for tailwater...

A new methodology, based on the synchronous measurement of stage hydrographs in two river sections located some kilometres from each other, was developed to estimate discharge hydrograph upstream section. The methodology is one-parameter calibration a numerical flow routing algorithm, solving Saint-Venant equations diffusive or complete form. validated using results laboratory experiments carried out at Polytechnic Bari University. known generated tank rectangular flume, where water level...

This paper presents the Smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) model to examine propagation of a regular and irregular waves. The SPH method is grid-less Lagrangian approach which capable good accuracy in tracking large deformations free surface. computations are validated against experimental data agreement observed. modelling shown provide promising tool predicting transformation different Keywords: numerical methods, waves, random wave, physical modelling, SPH, fluid viscosity, number.

On the use of lightweight materials in small-scale mobile bed physical models.In this paper an evaluation morphodynamic response different relatively common models is presented. Results must serve to provide overview various aspects likely sensibly influence on sediments morphological tests determine possible suitability low-density particles investigated for coastal modelling. Different granular materials,...

The paper deals with a morphological study on drained beach, under different wave conditions.
 Beach Drainage System (BDS) should artificially increase beach infiltration capacity by installing drain the face. system produces water table lowering and, consequently, an increasing of unsaturated zone (Damiani et Al.,2009); moreover, vertical flow increases effective weight grains, producing better stability. According to above hydrodynamic effect BDS influence cross shore sediment...

The Adriatic coast between the towns of Trani and Manfi-edonia in Apulian Region South East Italy, has seen changed its morphology due to effects human action. In middle this is located Ofanto river. Its solid transport diminished during second half 1900th directly influencing coastal morphology. Other influence on evolution related presence structures, roads, resorts houses along neighbour river mouth. mouth included port Margherita di Savoia Barletta. Either those ports hydrological...
