| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To establish a numerical analysis method for the resilience of coastal protection facilities against tsunamis containing suspended sediment, this study was devoted to proposing an evaluation equation for the viscosity of water containing suspended sediment, developing a numerical model combined with the proposed equation, and examining and discussing the influence of suspended sediment on the stability of coastal protection facilities against tsunamis using the developed model. Numerical simulations showed that the maximum tsunami forces induced by impact bore pressure and quasi-steady wave pressure increased with suspended sediment concentration. This suggested that it is essential to consider the influence of suspended sediment in assessing the stability of coastal protection facilities against tsunamis and the developed model is a useful tool contributing to the enhancement of the resilience of coastal protection facilities.
