Abbreviations
- Bore:
-
A broken wave with an infinite wavelength that propagates into shallower quiescent water.
- Buoyant force:
-
A net hydrostatic force on an object in the vertical direction.
- Coastal armoring:
-
A human-made structure built to protect shorelines, e.g., seawalls, coastal dikes, and breakwaters.
- Debris impact force:
-
Forces on an object caused by the impact of waterborne missiles.
- Distant tsunami:
-
A tsunami created on a far away source; distant tsunami travel times can be on the order of hours.
- Drag force:
-
Forces acting on a submerged object in the direction of a steady fluid flow.
- Form drag:
-
A component of the drag force due to pressure difference between the front and back surfaces of the object.
- Hydrodynamic force:
-
A force acting on a partially submerged structure by a steady free-surface flow around it.
- Hydrostatic force:
-
Fluid forces under the uniform-flow condition with no vertical acceleration.
- Local tsunami:
-
A tsunami created on a nearby source.
- Momentum flux:
-
The steady portion of the net inertial forces.
- Shallow-water-wave theory:
-
Water-wave theory with the assumptions of infinitesimal water depth relative to the wavelength for the irrotational fluid motion; alternatively, with the assumptions of hydrostatic pressure field and the inviscid-fluid flow with uniform horizontal velocity profile over the depth.
- Shoaling effect:
-
Describes the increase in wave height as waves propagate into shallower water; it is a consequence of the conservation of wave energy flux.
- Subduction zone:
-
A tectonic plate margin characterized by one plate going underneath (or subducting) of another tectonic plate; a plate dislocation in the subduction zone creates large tsunamis.
- Surge force (impulsive force):
-
Initial water impact forces on an object caused by the leading edge of the wave’s upsurge motion on land.
- Tsunami:
-
A water wave created by an impulsive disturbance in the ocean; the Japanese word “tsunami” translates directly to English as “harbor wave.”
- Vertical evacuation structure:
-
A human-made structure that provides a high-elevation safe haven from floods.
