Tsunami loads on coastal structures
The main focus of this final year project is to study the effectiveness of the sand dunes in the dissipation of the tsunami wave energies. To simulate the leading wave of a tsunami, a solitary wave was generated over the various conditions such as different water depth and wave heights, and the clim...
