Particle Resolving Fluid-Sediment Interaction
Climate change leads to increased frequency and magnitude of flash flood events in rivers and of storm surges in coastal areas. Flash floods are associated with larger discharges and water levels, whereas storm surges are characterized by higher wave heights and water levels. These events have significant consequences for both rivers and coastlines triggering a morphodynamic response. Resulting erosion and soil mechanical failures can result in severe damage to civil infrastructure and buildings. There is a knowledge gap that connects the hydraulic, hydrodynamic and geotechnical aspects of environmental loading due to current, wave action as well as sediment and soil response respectively.…
