Dear All
I am working on numerical simulation of morphological changes in behind submerged breakwaters. At the present stage I need a set of useful experimental or field data, which could be used for validating the numerical model (in my case, DELFT3D).However, in spite of extensive search for such data, I could not find anything except some studies on emerged breakwaters.
Does anybody know where can I find such data?
In case no such data is available, what is the best approach for model validation?
Kind Regards
Thank you Ayurzana
Currently, the only avaliable data can be find in the following papaer.
'Simulation of Shoreline Change behind a Submerged Permeable Breakwater '
However, due to lack of important details such as measured flow field and duration of the experiment, it is from being useful.
Good luck
Thank you Ayurzana and Moin Mojabi.
I am also seeking the same thing. In my case i use MIKE model. However, i can't define submerged breakwaters in MIKE when i simulate shoreline change, morphology around it.
Hi Nguyen Thanh LUAN
What is the matter? Why you can not define SBW in mike 21?
Hi Moin, please check Ranasinghe and Sato (2007) - Beach morphology behind single impermeable submerged breakwater under obliquely incident waves,” Coastal Engineering Journal 49 (1), 1-24 for some data from small-scale physical models. I think should be good enough for model validation.
I've a lot of data acquired during monitoring for local administrations, but after producing reports I had no time to write scientific papers (maybe after retiring!). If you (or others) are interested in collaborating I can send information on the sites and on data we have. But I'll be very busy until the end of this year to start digging in the archive. I hope you'll find data before!
Hi Moin. I can not define when i setup the morphological simulation, with hydrodynamic models is no matter.
There are some suggests that : must set up the value D50 > 20cm for the submerged breakwaters. What do you think this method?
Hi Nguyen Thanh LUAN
you have to make the breakwater non erodible. For example , DELFT3D has the option to do so. However, I have no idea about the recent versions of MIKE21. By the way, even if such option is not available in MIKE21, you can define the D50 on the breakwater so large that the bottom is not eroded by waves and currents
Dear Enzo
Many thanks for your respone. Unfortunately, end of this year is too late for me.
