THEORY AND APPLICATION OF HYDRAULIC MODELING INTERACTION BETWEEN FLUID AND GROUND UNDER WATER WAVES (HB 2024) Hardcover

This edited volume, compiled by Japan’s Research Subcommittee on Methodology for Dealing with Geomaterials in Hydraulic Model Experiments, offers an advanced overview of both experimental and computational techniques for addressing the challenges of similarity scaling in fluid-sediment flows. The book provides readers with insights into the complex phenomena at the intersection of hydraulics and geotechnical engineering. The contributors explore how interactions between fluid waves and ground have posed long-standing challenges in modeling and analysis. In addition to detailing the implementation of model tests and the law of similarity, the book contrasts these phenomena with similarity laws, outlines various modeling and numerical analysis methods, and discusses critical considerations through experimental case studies. Each chapter is authored by leading researchers from Japan and can be read independently, although they are interconnected. This volume equips readers with the knowledge to develop models that more accurately simulate wave-ground interactions, enabling them to better understand these processes and create more effective defense strategies when needed. This collection is valuable for young researchers and post-graduate students in hydraulics and geotechnical engineering, especially those pursuing careers as civil engineers. It is also an essential resource for practicing engineers of all experience levels who routinely analyze complex fluid-ground interactions.
