The Impact

Field surveys in recent tsunami events document the catastrophic effects of large waterborne debris on coastal infrastructure. Despite the availability of experimental studies, numerical studies investigating these effects are very limited due to the need to simulate different domains (fluid, solid), complex turbulent flows and multi-physics interactions. This study presents a coupled SPH–FEM modeling approach that simulates the fluid with particles, and the flume, the debris and the structure with mesh-based finite elements. The interaction between the fluid and solid bodies is captured via node-to-solid contacts, while the interaction of the debris with the flume and the structure is defined via a two-way segment-based contact. The modeling approach is validated using available large-scale experiments in the literature, in which a restrained shipping container is transported by a tsunami bore inland until it impacts a vertical column. Comparison of the experimental data with the two-dimensional numerical simulations reveals that the SPH–FEM models can predict (i) the non-linear transformation of the tsunami wave as it propagates towards the coast, (ii) the debris–fluid interaction and (iii) the impact on a coastal structure, with reasonable accuracy. Following the validation of the models, a limited investigation was conducted, which demonstrated the generation of significant debris pitching that led to a non-normal impact on the column with a reduced contact area and impact force. While the exact level of debris pitching is highly dependent on the tsunami characteristics and the initial water depth, it could potentially result in a non-linear force–velocity trend that has not been considered to date, highlighting the need for further investigation preferably with three-dimensional models.
