Nesta comunicação, descrevem-se os mais recentes desenvolvimentos no LNEC em termos de instalações experimentais, técnicas de construção, equipamentos e metodologias utilizadas nos ensaios em modelo físico, com a apresentação de casos de estudos realizados para as zonas portuárias de Peniche Ponta Delgada, Leixões

Within the BlueSafePort project, an early warning system (EWS) for moored ships in the port of Sines as developed. In order to improve the reliability and accuracy of the system, two neural networks (NN) were trained,using wave buoys measured datasets. Numerical models results for the wave propagation are djusted and forecasts are improved.The trained neural networks were able to produce more accurate stimates for the significant wave height and mean wave period, at the buoy location, deployed in front of the ines Port. The use of the new NN led to an overall reduction of the root mean square error of around 80% compared with SWAN numerical model simulations, thus reducing potential errors in subsequential alculations and alert levels issued by the system for the moored ships.

Within the LIFE Garachico project, an HIDRALERTA EWS is being extended to include methodologies for creating an effective flexible adaptation strategic framework for coastal area of Praia da Vitória. This strategic framework is based on the definition of acceptable risk levels and specific interventions at the local level, allowing to increase the resilience of coastal urban areas against extreme coastal events (both present and future) consequences of climate change.

Esta comunicação descreve os ensaios de pressões efetuados para a caraterização das pressões máximas exercidas nos pilares de secção circular da ponte que liga o porto de Dakhla à costa bem como dos perfis verticais de pressões associadas.

Nesta comunicação são descritos os desenvolvimentos iniciais dos sub-casos do projeto C2IMPRESS referentes aos portos de Aveiro e da Figueira da Foz. A fase inicial envolveu a estimativa preliminar do galgamento induzido pelas ondas em alguns perfis das estruturas dos dois portos, assim como um primeiro inquérito sobre risco aos utilizadores desses dois portos.

Esta comunicação descreve os estudos em modelo reduzido tridimensional de estabilidade hidráulica e de galgamentos para o prolongamento do molhe leste correspondente à 3ª Fase de Expansão do Terminal XXI, do Porto de Sines.

Neste trabalho apresenta-se uma metodologia para determinar as condições de segurança e acessibilidade de navios ao longo do trajeto de acesso ao porto, ilustrando-se a sua aplicação nos casos de estudo dos portos de Sines. este trabalho insere-se no âmbito do desenvolvimento de novos sistemas de previsão e alerta para a navegação nos portos de Sines e Aveiro.

O litoral português apresenta um valor natural, económico e cultural único e de importância amplamente reconhecida. O dinamismo costeiro pode levar à ocorrência de galgamentos de estruturas de proteção costeira em situações de temporal, que podem causar inúmeros danos, podendo mesmo resultar na perda de vidas humanas ou na destruição de estruturas próximas da linha de costa. Deste modo, a gestão das zonas costeiras próximas de aglomerados populacionais deve considerar a implementação de medidas sustentáveis que mitiguem os fenómenos que afetam o litoral de forma mais gravosa, de que são exemplo a implementação de estruturas de proteção costeira.

No âmbito do projeto BlueSafePort está a ser desenvolvido um sistema para prever e alertar situações de emergência causadas pela agitação marítima, relacionadas com a navegação em portos, bem como constrangimentos operacionais. A paralisação dos terminais portuários leva a grandes perdas económicas e afeta em grande parte a competitividade geral do porto. Assim, o objetivo deste sistema é reduzir a vulnerabilidade do porto aumentando a sua capacidade de planeamento e resposta e

Physical modelling is one of the tools to help characterize wave runup and overtopping in maritime structures. Usually, the determination of wave runup is made by using resistive wave gauges along the breakwater slope while the evaluation of overtopping volumes (individual or total) is made by weighing the water overtopped with a scale that is collected in a reservoir installed on this scale.Nowadays, non-intrusive methodologies for the assessment of those parameters are being used, due to their simplicity and low cost. Video cameras, constitute a good alternative to old methods; however, their performance depends essentially on the post-processing methodologies used.The present paper presents the application of the Timestack methodology done so far, in the evaluation of: wave runup in 2D and 3D physical tests. The video-derived statistical parameters of wave runup (Rumax, Rumin, Rumed e Ru2%) are compared with the corresponded ones obtained with resistive wave gauges. The total water volume and the average overtopping flow rate from video data is compared with the one collected by a reservoir. Those cases will illustrate the advantages and drawbacks associated with Timestack methodology.

The demonstration area will be one of the main focus points of TRA LISBON 2022, presenting multifunctional spaces and being prepared to receive a large number of different types of on-site demonstrations (indoor and outdoor). On-line demonstrations will also be an option, allowing for the widest possible coverage of access for all the participants.The dedicated areas will allow for interactive demonstrations of technological innovations to be carried out by and for industry partners, researchers, and other stakeholders. Demonstrations are an excellent opportunity to introduce conference attendees in an engaging way, as well as to promote new contacts and promising business.

According to the CSA project plan, WP5.2 task objective is to organize technical tours that feature attractive and interactive showcases aiming at engaging participants into novel technologies for all transport modes and enabling stakeholders and their companies to disseminate and even sell their products and applications to all interested parties.

This report is part of HYDRALAB+ Work Package 10, which seeks to strengthen the coherence of experimental hydraulic and hydrodynamic research undertaken by the HYDRALAB+ partner organisations. It outlines the work carried out by Samui Design & Management Ltd, supported by HR Wallingford, in relation to the development of a data repository structure that can be adopted by participants of the HYDRALAB+ project.

Reliable prediction of wave run-up/overtopping and structure damage is a key task in the design and safety assessment of coastal and harbor structures. Run-up/overtopping and damage must be below acceptable limits, both in extreme and in normal operating conditions, to guarantee the stability of the structure and the safety of people and assets on and behind the structure. The mean-sea-level rise caused by climate change and its effects on wave climate may increase the number and intensity of run-up/overtopping events and make the existing coastal/harbor structures more vulnerable to damage.Accurate estimates, through physical modelling, of the statistics of overtopping waves for a set of climate change conditions, are needed. The research project HYDRALAB+ (H2020-INFRAIA-2014-2015) gathers an advanced network of environmental hydraulic institutes in Europe, which provides access to a suite of environmental hydraulic facilities. They play a vital role in the development of climate change adaptation strategies, by allowing the direct testing of adaptation measures and by providing data for numerical model calibration and validation. The use of physical (scale) models allows the simulation of extreme events as they are now, and as they are projected to be under different climate change scenarios.The enclosed dataset refers to the experimental work developed at LNEC within HYDRALAB+ and considers 2D damage and overtopping tests for a rock armor slope, with four different approaches to represent storms. Data of free surface elevation, overtopping and damage is presented.

The HYDRALAB+ project is aimed at strengthening the coherence of experimental hydraulic and hydrodynamic research undertaken across its partner organisations. This report is D10.2 of the HYDRALAB+ project, entitled
