title = "Modelling of tsunami-induced bore and structure interaction",
abstract = "A series of 3-D smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) and finite element (FE) models with a domain in the form of a water tank were undertaken to simulate tsunami-induced bore impact on a discrete onshore structure on a dry bed. The fluid motion was simulated using the SPH-based software DualSPHysics. The tsunami-like waves were represented by solitary waves with different characteristics generated by the numerical paddle wavemaker. Numerical probes were uniformly distributed on the structure{\textquoteright}s vertical surface providing detailed measures of the pressure distribution across the structure. The peak impact locations on the structure{\textquoteright}s surface were specifically determined and the associated peak pressures then compared with the prediction of existing commonly used design equations. Using the pressure-time histories from the SPH model, FE analysis was conducted with ABAQUS to model the dynamic response of a representative timber structure. The results show that the equations used to estimate the associated pressure for design purposes can be highly non-conservative. By gaining a detailed insight into the impact pressures and structure response, engineers have the potential means to optimise the design of structures under tsunami impact loads and improve survivability",
