1 Review on sediment scour, transport, and deposit in coastal environments, including under tsunami forcing Jørgen Fredsøe, Techn. Univ. Denmark

2 At which location are the flow velocity largest? Carrier et al 2003: at the moving shoreline. Max inshore direction:initial waveform depression. Offshore directed if initial wave have a dominant elevation characteristic.

3 Soil properties?? Sand in the sea and in the beach. Brought further onshore:???

4 I: Run up: onshore sediment transport II: Sedimentation III: Draw down :offshore sediment transport

5 River flow: Flow velocities lower reaches: flood: m/s, Sand Upper reaches, Mountain streams: 4-6 m/s, stones

6 Rivers: Engelund-Hansen: θ smaller than 2-3

7 But coarser fractions can be mobilized

9 Waves D=40 m T=15 sec H=20m (e.g. thenorth Sea) : U(max)=3.7 m/s layer). θ about 5. (thin boundary

10 Tsunami: T=13 min, Amplitude=0.75 m in 2000 m waterdepth! = H s 0 / L " Slope: 1/15:! =53, Vertical run-up=3.5 m, U(max)= 0.42 m/sec S=1/120:! =6.6, run-up=9.9 m, U=9.5 m/sec

11 Observed or estimated flow velocities Hokkaido 1993: m/s (Tsutsumi et al, ASCE, 2000) (evaluated by considering deformation of railway tracks)

12 Morphology on land: Flat Dikes Dunes

13 Planform view longshore variations in dune crest level etc

15 Picture by Barbara Keating 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami Incised Erosional Channels (30 m long & 1 m deep)

16 What special is there about a Tsunami from a hydrodynamic/sediment-transport point of view, compared to coastal or river environment. Magnitude of flow velocity Duration (transient problem) The magnitude of run-up Flow reversal Groundwater flow Sediment properties.(fine sediment+large V)

17 What to focus on? 1.Basic concepts of sand transport mechanisms 2.Boundary layers (bed friction) and turbulence in waves. 3.Net transport in a Tsunami 4.Scour in waves

18 PART 1: Non-cohessive sediment transport modeling

52 Bed forms: not in sheet flow

53 Conclusions: Sediment transport in a tsunami will usually be as sheet flow and in suspension. Models are availible for the sheet flow in current Coarse sediment will be transported as bedload, but might be easier mobilized due to presence of fine sediment The transition from the sheet flow layer to the suspended sediment is not fully descriebed, and the bottom boundary condition for the suspended sediment needs clarification Transport of mixtures needs to be studied

54 PART 2: SEDIMENTTRANSPORT IN WAVES Needed for sediment transport : friction, level of turbulence

72 Web search Tsunami AND turbulence Boundary layer under a solitary wave

73 Net transport in a Tsunami (erosive or depositive) 1:the very much idealized case

74 Run up U=5m/s : δ =1m after 60 sec.

75 Draw down: boundary layer much thicker Result: larger friction on- than off-shore (?)

76 Puelo and Holland, Coastal Eng 2001

77 Larger flow velocities during draw down than in the Run-up.

142

143 Difference in scour mechanism in between current and waves: Flow attack from two directions KC-dependence (maybe no vortex shedding)

144 Wave scour depends on KC KC = 2! a D

145 Tsunami scour Does the flow last long enough time so the scour will develops fully? : Time-scale!

146 Additional problems: liquefaction: reshaping the grain-sceleton Momentary fluidization: the effective stresses between the grains disappear due to groundwater flow.

147 Two very idealized cases: The vertical cylinder (pile) The horizontal cylinder (pipeline, seewage pipe etc).
