Summary:
This EPSRC funded project aims to improve the
specification of hydrodynamic conditions
around "leaky" nearshore breakwaters by
allowing for both wave reflection and
fluid leakage in computer model
software. Existing large-scale laboratory data
from the UK Coastal Research Facility (UKCRF)
at HR Wallingford will
be used to calibrate and validate the
improved model software. The improved
model will then be used to study the
flow patterns around nearshore
structures, including both single and
group breakwater schemes, and the
influence of the group structures on the
nearshore hydrodynamics. The model will
provide more accurate and extended
hydrodynamic information at those
situations.
Duration:
The duration of the Project is for 18
months from January 2002
Funds:
The total funds for Liverpool is
£62,458 under contract no GR/R50394
