Talk Title: Investigation of Harbor Oscillation Induced by Long Wave with Numerical Model
Abstract:
In this study, we would introduce and validate one Boussinesq model (Mike 21), which was developed by Danish Hydraulic Institute based on the earlier work of Madsen and Sorensen. Six cases of experiment would be used to investigate the reliability and accuracy of the present model. After the verification, we would apply this model into four real harbors and inspect the response caused by an idealized incident wave train (white noise analysis). By comparing the first resonance mode with earlier work and observation, we noticed that the effect of nonlinearity and dispersion did not appear to be significant in harbor oscillation. In addition, the impact of various tidal levels was also studied to determine the reason that caused the increased number of resonance mode in some tsunami scenarios.
