Hybrid modeling of wave processes in the scientific justification of hydraulic solutions

Abstract

Abstract To determine the wave or ice load on offshore hydraulic structures, calculation methods and modern mathematical models are used, as well as field observations and laboratory studies. Each of these methods has advantages and disadvantages. Sharing existing methods provides an approach called “hybrid or composite modeling.” Hybrid modeling provides the most reliable approach for designing safe facilities. However, the interaction of the individual components of hybrid modeling requires further research. This article is devoted to the study of the problems that arise when verifying the results of numerical modeling of wind waves using field and laboratory model measurements. The experience of studying the projects of the port-shore protection complex in Imeretinka, Sochi, the LNG terminal in the Ob Bay and the port in the East Bay of the Sea of Japan is used.
