Abstract
There are multiple initiatives aimed at strengthening coastal communities against tsunami disaster risks, such as growing vegetation belts, construction of embankments, moats, and different hybrid alternatives. To find a solution for strengthening the coastal buildings themselves, we firstly reviewed the flow phenomena around a single emergent (circular and rectangular) cylinder (case C1), which was considered as a piloti-type column under different Froude conditions, and evaluated the formation of surface bow-waves, hydraulic jump detachment, and wall-jet-like bow-waves. Secondly, the flow characteristics were investigated under the same Froude conditions with side-by-side two-cylinder (case C2) and four-cylinder (case C4) arrays in an open channel. Surface bow-wave length (LBw) increased by 7–12% over the rectangular cylinders (RCs) compared to the circular cylinders (CCs) with a subcritical flow. For the supercritical flow with a 1/200 bed slope, hydraulic jump detachment was observed in relation to the Froude number. The observed length of the hydraulic jump detachment (Ljump) varied between 3.1–8.5% and 4.2–12.9% for the CCs and RCs in the supercritical flow with a 1/200 bed slope. In addition, the wall-jet-like bow-wave height (hjet) over the CCs was increased by 37% and 29% compared to the RCs with a supercritical flow and zero bed slope (orifice-type flow). For case C4, a hydraulic jump was observed for the supercritical flow over the horizontal channel bed. Finally, empirical equations were defined concerning the geometrical shape and arrangement based on the experiment data for the single and side-by-side configurations of the cylinders to validate the height of the wall-jet-like bow-wave as the most critical flow property.
