Wave‐current interactions play a major role in the dynamics of shallow tidal inlets. This study investigates these at natural inlet, with strong focus on current‐induced changes wave propagation. The analysis hydrodynamic data collected Albufeira lagoon, Portugal, revealed spatiotemporal variations water levels and heights along attributed to wave‐current interaction processes. We compared simulations coupled wave‐circulation modeling system, computed without waves, propagated current...
Abstract. This paper reviews the state of art in storm surge forecasting and its particular application northern Adriatic Sea. The city Venice already depends on operational systems to warn population economy imminent flood threats, as well help protect extensive cultural heritage. will be more important future, with new mobile barriers called MOSE (MOdulo Sperimentale Elettromeccanico, Experimental Electromechanical Module) that completed by 2021. depend accurate control their operation. In...
Droughts reduce freshwater availability and have negative environmental, economic, social impacts. In estuaries, the dynamics between saltwater can be affected during droughts, which impact several natural resources economic sectors negatively. The Tagus estuary is one of largest estuaries in Europe supports diverse uses activities that by intrusion (e.g., agriculture). This study assesses upper reaches using a process-based model to explore different scenarios discharge sea level rise. For...
The ongoing rise in sea level affects tidal propagation and circulation estuaries, these changes can have far reaching consequences on the sediment dynamics, water quality extreme levels. This study aims at anticipating evolution of dynamics Tagus (Portugal) 21st century, particular due to (SLR). existence a resonance mode about 8 hours this estuary, that selectively amplifies both semi-diurnal quarter-diurnal constituents, makes response estuary SLR unique. was conducted with shallow model,...
The aim of this paper is to investigate which between the entropy and resilience indices represents a better indirect measure reliability in framework water distribution network design. methodology adopted consisted (a) multi-objective optimizations performed order minimize costs maximize reliability, expressed by means one at time; (b) retrospective performance assessment solutions Pareto fronts obtained. Two case studies different topological complexity were considered. Results showed that...
The generation of tidal asymmetries in estuaries is analyzed by examining the differences celerity at high and low tide. An analytical expression for difference between ebb flood durations introduced applied to a cross section composed channel flanked flats. depends on cross-sectional average celerity, which two approximations are proposed verified with numerical model. Results confirm that flats enhance dominance, whereas large amplitudes promote dominance. Maximum dominance occurs or above...
