This study utilized a two-dimensional numerical viscous wave tank to simulate the run-up and run-down processes of non-breaking solitary waves on steep seawall. The research aimed investigate transformation between potential energy kinetic energy, evolution mechanisms flow fields, correlation dynamic pressure gradient reverse near sloping bed. model results were consistent with laboratory measu...

In Japan, Typhoon No. 15 (Faxai) hit the Kanto region on September 5, 2019, causing massive flooding damage due to collapse of seawalls (Suzuki et al., 2020). Fukuura district Yokohama City, parapet seawall collapsed and large overtopping waves inundated an area 0.75 km inland from seawall, resulting in a flooded 0.8 km2. Since typhoon season lasts until November, there was possibility that typ...

It is widely recognised that microhabitats are important for a variety of marine organisms, yet this knowledge has rarely been applied in the construction of engineered structures as a means of enhancing biodiversity or populations of species at risk. Here we examined the influence of microhabitats on the distribution and survival of the exploited limpet Patella candei on natural shores before ...

Reshaping process is a widely used method for producing tubes with non-circular cross sections. Owing to the friction between pipe and rolls, initial round pipe moves forward and consequently, it gradually formed into square or rectangular one. In practice, geometric profile of the rolls will be changed after a while. These changes would be detrimental the production of faultless products. Ther...

On May 23 rd , 2022, an extreme coastal event occurred around the northern coast of Java. This had caused collapsed several seawall segments Tanjung Emas Port, Semarang. Combined with wave overtopping, it led to severe flooding and economic damages port operation. Responding event, this research aimed characterize hydrodynamic condition proposed a design. The was done through field observation,...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW To review current literature on overnight corneal reshaping and present this mode of vision correction in its current state. RECENT FINDINGS Overnight corneal reshaping uses specially designed rigid gas-permeable contact lenses. It is effective in temporarily reducing or eliminating low to moderate myopia. This nonsurgical mode of vision correction allows for good unaided vi...
