PRJ-4422 | Fluid Structure Interaction Simulations for Coastal Structures
| PI | |
| Project Type | Simulation |
| Natural Hazard Type(s) | Storm Surge, Flood, Tsunami |
| Facilities | |
| Keywords | wave action, wave forces, fluid structure interaction, elevated coastal structures, hurricane storm surge, wave action, soil-structure interaction, fluid-structure interaction, light-frame wood construction |
Description:
This project uses multi-physics simulations to study how waves interact with nearshore structures. The simulations account for the deformability of the structural members as well as soil flexibility effects that can be introduced by slender wood pile systems.
