EFFECTS OF WAVE-DISSIPATING BLOCKS ON REDUCTION OF SALINITY IN THE AIR GENERATED AT A VERTICAL BREAKWATER BASED ON FIELD OBSERVATIONS

Masaru Yamashiro; Akinori Yoshida; Yasuhiro Nishii

At Waku fishing port in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan, which has a vertical breakwater at the mouth of the port, wave-dissipating blocks were installed in front of the breakwater to reduce the sea water spray generated at the breakwater. To clarify the effect of wave-dissipating blocks on the reduction of the salinity in the air, a large number of field observations were conducted at the port in the winter seasons from 2005 to 2011; the run-ups of the splash (heights and frequency), the wind (velocity and direction) and the salinity concentrations in the air were measured at about 30 observation points. The data obtained before and after the construction showed that the violent run-up of splash was efficiently blocked by fully covering the vertical breakwater with the wave-dissipating blocks. Consequently, the salinity in the air was also drastically reduced.

大分県別府湾に位置する別府港海岸では,水際線の背 後地域において度重なる高潮,越波等の災害を受けてい ることから,住民の人命や財産を防護することが急務で あった.そこで,国土交通省九州地方整備局は,直轄の 海岸保全施設整備事業として,上人ケ浜地区,餅ケ浜地 区,北浜地区1および北浜地区2の4地区において,平成 13年より延長約2.2 kmについて事業化を開始した.本事 業では,整備計画案の策定段階から住民参加型計画手法 が取り入れられ,意見集約が図られてきた. 図-1に示す上人ケ浜地区では,防災・利用・環境・景 観などの観点から,自然とふれあう海辺空間の創出と高 潮対策に優れる面的防護施設の整備計画を目指し,平成 21年度に策定された基本計画案に対し,平成22年度と平 成23年度に水理模型実験を実施した.基本計画案では, 面的防護施設の有効的な配置検討が数値解析で進められ ると同時に,越波低減効果の課題については主に標準断 面を使った構造の最適化が既往の設計手法を使って検討 されていた.このような従来の護岸施設の構造設計では, 越波量算定法に算術式や図解法が多用され,複雑な断面 でもせいぜい断面2次元の数値モデルが使われる程度で ある.これらの方法は,地形や砕波に由来する複雑な水 位上昇が卓越し,その上来襲波や反射波や沿い波が重合 する護岸前面の平面波浪場に適用するには,精度を担保 する算定法になっているとは言い難い.当該地区は遠浅 の自然磯浜に面し,自然環境とふれあう親水護岸,護岸 背後に保養所・旅館が密集する商業施設,さらに中央浄 化センターが建つ埋立地等が複雑な地形を形成し,沖合 の海域では,魚礁群や石積式の増殖場が広域に点在して いる.このような複雑な地形で且つ利用上の防護基準も 異なる海域において,精度を担保する面的防護施設の越 波低減効果を検証するには,多様な越波要素を直接取り 込むことができ,現象の視認が容易となる大型平面模型 を用いた水理実験による再現予測が効果的である. そこで本研究は,別府港海岸上人ケ浜地区に計画され ている護岸,潜堤群および周辺地形を再現した大型平面 模型を製作し,護岸の越波流量を主な評価指標とする水 理模型実験により,防災対策に有効な防護施設の構造諸 元を策定することを目的に越波低減効果の検証を行った 土木学会論文集B2(海岸工学) Vol. 69,No. 2,2013,I_296-I_300

BASIC VERIFICATION ON BOUNDARY PROCEDURES IN BOUSSINESQ CALCULATION FOR LONG-PERIOD WAVES

Yasuhiro Nishii; Akinori Yoshida; Masaru Yamashiro

When waves around harbors are computed with Boussinesq models, so-called “sponge layer” is placed along the computational region to absorb reflected waves going out to open sea. The wave absorbing characteristics of the sponge layer for long period waves have not yet been fully clarified. Using two-dimensional numerical wave-tank with a sponge layer just behind the wave generating boundary, regular waves of 20, 60, 100, 200 and 300 sec were generated, and its wave absorbing characteristics were investigated through the wave height of the standing waves generated in the wave tank. It was found that the reflected waves entering from the region to the sponge layer are almost completely absorbed by properly setting the sponge stiffness and the sponge thickness. Further investigation on water surface oscillations near the boundary of the harbor was carried out. It was found that by providing thin sponge layer along the impermeable boundary, abnormal water surface oscillations, which occasionally occur around the boundary corner, can be effectively suppressed.
