Description
Project HYDRALAB+ (H2020-INFRAIA-2014-2015) gathers an advanced network of environmental hydraulic institutes in Europe, which provides access to a suite of environmental hydraulic facilities. They play a vital role in the development of climate change adaptation strategies, by allowing the direct testing of adaptation measures and by providing data for numerical model calibration and validation
Objectives
- - Foresight study on adaptations in experimental facilities for analysis of climate change scenarios.
- - Numerical modeling: numerical modeling validation. Application to rubble mounds under run-up and overtopping conditions.
- - Physical modeling: bidimensional analysis of damage, overtopping and run-up in a rubble mound breakwater , under storm event scenarios.
Results
- Database of experimental results under climate change storm sequence;
- Analysis of mean overtopping, individual overtopping, run-up and damage progression;
- Comparison of overtopping and run-up results from the physical tests with the empirical formulae of Eurotop (2016);
- Recommendations for experimental facilities in evaluating risks and adaptation measures to climate change.
