Development of a Bayesian network-based early warning system for storm-driven coastal erosion
Coastal hazards such as flooding and erosion can cause large economic and human losses. Under this threat, early warning systems can be very cost-effective solutions for disaster preparation. The goal of this study was to develop, test, and implement an operational coastal erosion early warning system supported by a particular method of machine learning. Thus, the system combines Bayesian Networks, and state-of-the-art numerical models, such as XBeach and SWAN, to predict storm erosion impacts in urbanized areas. This system was developed in two phases. In the development phase, all information required to apply the machine learning method was generated including the definition of hundreds of oceanic synthetic storms, modeling of the erosion caused by these storms, and characterization of the impact levels according to a newly defined eerosion iimpact index. This adimensional index relates the distance from the edge of the dune/beach scarp to buildings and the height of that scarp. Finally, a Bayesian Network that acted as a surrogate of the previously generated information was built. After the training of the network, the conditional probability tables were created. These tables constituted the ground knowledge to make the predictions in the second phase. This methodology was validated (1) by comparing 6-h predictions obtained with the Bayesian Network and with process-based models, the latest considered as the benchmark, and (2) by assessing the predictive skills of the Bayesian Network through the unbiased iterative k-fold cross-validation procedure. Regarding the first comparison, the analysis considered the entire duration of three large storms whose return periods were 10, 16, and 25 years, and it was observed that the Bayesian Network correctly predicted between 64% and 72% of the impacts during the course of the storms, depending on the area analyzed. Importantly, this method was also able to identify when the hazardous conditions disappeared after predicting potential consequences. Regarding the Regarding the second validation approach, second validation approach, the k-fold cross-validation procedure was applied to the peak of a set of varying storms and it demonstrated that the predictive skills were maximized (63%

Experimental study of an onshore dual chamber oscillating water column device
A wave flume is used to study a scaled model of a stepped bottom dual-chamber Oscillating Water Column (OWC) installed onshore. Compared to traditional single-chamber OWCs, the use of dual-chambers is expected to widen the range of sea states in which the OWC is more efficient, and the step, in front of the first chamber, boosts the capturing energy capacity of the device. The Power Take-Off (PTO) system is modelled as an air opening in the pneumatic chambers. Several experiments combining regular incident waves and PTO damping conditions are performed. Results of the amplitudes of the free surface elevations inside the chambers show that the device can amplify the incident wave amplitude up to 1.57 times in chamber 2. Results of the primary efficiency show that the device is highly dependent on the PTO damping characteristics and can reach around 40% for a wide range of wave periods. Results of the reflection analysis show that the reflection coefficient is also dependent on the PTO damping characteristics but remain lower than 0.6 for all the studied cases. Sloshing phenomenon (mostly in the cross-section direction) was observed for a wavelength close to the cross-section dimension, impacting negatively on the device pneumatic performance.

Numerical analysis of 3D hydrodynamics and performance of an array of oscillating water column wave energy converters integrated into a vertical breakwater
Performance and hydrodynamics of an array of Oscillating Water Column (OWC) Wave Energy Converter (WEC) integrated into a vertical breakwater is studied. The FLUENT® software, in which the numerical model is based on the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations and the Volume of Fluid method for free surface flow modeling, is used in a 3D numerical wave tank. Three vertical breakwater configurations subject to the action of incident regular waves with periods from 6 to 12 s are studied: normal breakwater, with vertical walls parallel to the direction along the breakwater length; and two novel breakwater geometries, partially and fully convergent breakwaters, whose converging vertical walls are inclined

An Early Warning System for Coastal Risks Assessment
Storms impacting sandy coastal areas produce hazards such as erosion and overwash that, in turn, promote risk to life and property damage in occupied areas. Coastal damage and risks willincrease in the future not only in association with climate change but also due to the growinghuman occupation in coastal areas (van Dongeren et al., 2018). Since the threatened coastal areas are often densely populated, there is a need to implement measures to prevent risks. One of such measures is the use of Early Warning Systems (EWS) that anticipate expected risks and, therefore, work as management tools to minimize or avoid disaster. This work presents the basis of an EWS prototype to alert about the potential consequences of overwash/overtopping and erosion induced by storms, in coastal areas.

Conceptual and quantitative categorization of wave
Beaches combined with sloping structures are frequently the frst element of defense to protect urban areas from the impact of extreme coastal fooding events. However, these structures are rarely designed for null wave overtopping discharges, accepting that waves can pass above the crest and threat exposed elements in hinterland areas, such as pedestrians, urban elements and buildings, and vehicles. To reduce risks, Early Warning Systems (EWSs) can be used to anticipate and minimize the impacts of fooding episodes on those elements. A key aspect of these systems is the defnition of non-admissible discharge levels that trigger signifcant impacts. However, large discrepancies in defning these discharge levels and the associated impacts are found among the existing methods to assess foodings. Due to the lack of standardization, a new conceptual and quantitative four-level (from no-impact to high-impact) categorization of food warnings (EW-Coast) is proposed. EW-Coast integrates and unifes previous methods and builds on them by incorporating feld-based information. Thus, the new categorization successfully predicted the impact level on 70%, 82%, and 85% of the overtopping episodes afecting pedestrians, urban elements and buildings, and vehicles, respectively. This demonstrates its suitability to support EWSs in areas vulnerable to wave-induced fooding.

Damage Evolution in Physical Scale Model Tests of a Stretch of the Breakwater of Peniche Harbour.
During physical scale model tests of rubble mound breakwaters, the assessment of the eroded volume of the armour layer subjected to incident sea waves can be determined from consecutive surveys of the surface of the armour layer after each test run. This enables one to assess the damage level of the struc ture by comparing erosion profiles and by the eroded volume between consecutive surveys of the tested section. The present study aimed to evaluate the damage evolu tion of a section of the Peniche harbour west breakwater, whose armour layer is made of tetrapods, A dimensionless damage parameter was computed, based on the eroded volume at the end of each test. The test program consisted of three test series (A, B and C) with different durations and wave conditions sequences, considering the low-water level (water depth of 0.20 m at the toe of the structure) and high-water level (0.24 m) and sea states with peak periods Tp = 1.70 s and Tp = 1.98 s and significant wave heights, Hm0, ranging between 0.12 m and 0.19 m. The model was built and operated according to Froude

Damage Evolution Prediction during 2D Scale-Model Tests of a Rubble-Mound Breakwater: A Case Study of Ericeira
Melby presents a formula to predict damage evolution in rubble-mound breakwaterswhose armour layer is made of rock, based on the erosion measured in scale-model tests and thecharacteristics of the incident sea waves in such tests. However, this formula is only valid for armourlayers made of rock and for the range of tested sea states. The present work aims to show howthe Melby methodology can be used to establish a similar formula for the armour layer damageevolution in a rubble-mound breakwater where tetrapods are employed. For that, a long-durationtest series is conducted with a 1:50 scale model of the quay section of the Ericeira Harbour breakwater.The eroded volume of the armour layer was measured using a Kinect position sensor. The damageparameter values measured in the experiments are lower than those predicted by the formulationfor rock armour layers. New ap and b coefficients for the Melby formula for the tested armour layerwere established based on the minimum root mean square error between the measured and thepredicted damage. This work shows also that it is possible to assess the damage evolution in scale model tests with rubble-mound breakwaters by computing the eroded volume and subsequently, thedimensionless damage parameter based on the equivalent removed armour units.

Development of a Bayesian networks-based early warning system for wave-induced flooding
Coastal flooding prediction systems can be an efficient risk-reduction instrument. The goal of this study was to design, build, test, and implement a wave-induced flooding early warning system in urban areas fronted by sandy beaches. The system utilizes a novel approach that combines Bayesian Networks and numerical models (SWAN + XBeach) and was developed in two phases. In the development phase, firstly, the learning information was generated including the creation of oceanic conditions, modeling overtopping discharges, the haracterization of the associated im pacts (no, low, moderate and high) in pedestrians, urban components and buildings, and vehicles, and secondly, the Bayesian Networks were designed that surrogated the previously generated information. After their training, the conditional probability tables were created representing the foundation to make predictions in the operational phase. This methodology was validated for several historical events which hit the study area (Praia de Faro, Portugal), and the system correctly predicted the impact level of around 80% of the cases. Also, the predictive skills varied depending on the level, with the no and high impact levels overcoming the intermediate levels. In terms of efficiency, one simulation (deterministic) of coastal flooding for 72 h by running SWAN + XBeach operationally would take more than two days on a one-logical processor workstation, while the current approach can provide quasi-instantaneously predictions for that period, including probability distributions. Moreover, the two-working phase approach is very flexible enabling the inclusion of additional features such as social components representing a powerful tool for risk reduction in coastal communities.

A presente comunicação descreve o conjunto de procedimentos adotados para tornar maisfuncional, eficiente e fidedigno o sistema de previsão e alerta de galgamentos em zonascosteiras e portuárias - HIDRALERTA. Estes procedimentos incidiram essencialmente emdois módulos do sistema: o módulo de caraterização da agitação marítima e o módulo dosistema de alerta, que inclui a plataforma Web.O módulo da agitação marítima requer maior capacidade de processamento, e, por isso, foimigrado para o Cluster MEDUSA possibilitando a execução paralelizada dos vários modelosnuméricos de geração, propagação e deformação da agitação marítima em zonas costeirase portuárias. A execução paralelizada permite um aumento da resolução temporal dasprevisões do sistema sem comprometer a rapidez de processamento.A plataforma Web permite dois tipos distintos de visualização diária de resultados: imagensestáticas, que contêm resultados dos modelos numéricos, e um WebGIS, que visa umarápida, eficiente e detalhada análise das previsões do HIDRALERTA. Nesta plataforma foiainda criada uma ferramenta de validação, acessível ao utilizador, que compara os dados daboia ondógrafo da Praia da Vitória (mantida parcialmente através do projecto ESTRAMARMAC/3/C177) com os valores calculados pelo sistema, conferindo uma maior confiança aosresultados do HIDRALERTA. O sistema de alerta foi também desenvolvido de forma aenviar alertas via E-mail. Nos casos que o justifiquem, um alerta emitido automaticamentepelo HIDRALERTA é enviado às entidades competentes, informando-as, com a maiorantecipação possível, das zonas/atividades em risco.

Probability of failure of monopile foundations based on laboratory measurements
Monopile foundations are in the lead as the most common offshore substructure worldwide. Therefore, the study of their behaviour and the optimisation of their design represent important contributions, for the development of the offshore wind sector. In order to optimise the design process of monopiles in the marine environment, it is important to account for the uncertainties that can affect these structures, namely those relating to scour phenomena and the means of scour protection. Uncertainty relating to scour can be handled by means of statistical approaches. Probabilistic design methods may enable the optimisation of design procedures.This paper combines several results from physical modelling of scour development and a probabilistic model has been applied and extended to obtain probabilities of failure for the monopiles tested. This investigation will be used for comparison and calibration of the next phase of research, with a similar probabilistic approach being extended for waves and currents combined. The results presented are also used to provide an insight into future research concerning the failure of scour protection schemes. The relationship between safety factors and probabilities of failure of the monopiles is also presented.

Run-up on a rubble mound breakwater: comparison of empirical formulae and physical model results
The present study focuses on the comparison of measured wave run-up values obtained in physical model tests with those predicted by different empirical formulae. Tests were carried out in a flume for a cross-section of a rubble mound breakwater with an armour layer of tetrapods and rock, and a recurved wave return wall. The model represents the cross-section of the south breakwater of Praia da Vitória harbour (Azores, Portugal) that directly protects quay 12. Two water levels and several incident wave conditions were tested. Empirical runup formulae from Van der Meer & Stam (1992), Pullen et al. (2007) and Bonakdar & Etemad- Shahidi (2011) were applied for the tested conditions and comparisons were made with experimental values of the two percent wave run-up, R2% . Generally, the agreement between predictions and measurements was better for mean low water than for mean high water springs, with all formulae over predicting measurements for the latter.

Simulação da propagação de ondas regulares e irregulares em um canal bidimensional com praia numérica
Neste trabalho foram realizadas análises da propagação de ondas regulares e irregulares em um canal bidimensional com praia numérica através do modelo Fluent v. 16, desenvolvido pela ANSYS, que utiliza o método dos volumes finitos para a resolução das equações de conservação da massa e de movimento e o método Volume of Fluid para o rastreamento da posição da superfície livre. A praia numérica é baseada na adição de um termo de sumidouro na equação da quantidade de movimento que contém os coeficientes de amortecimento linear e quadrático. Para a aferição dos dois coeficientes, que dependem das características da onda incidente, foram simulados três casos de incidência de ondas regulares. De maneira geral, enquanto que o uso de baixos valores de coeficientes de amortecimento deixam ruídos numéricos no sinal da elevação da superfície livre, o uso de altos coeficientes de amortecimento causam reflexões das ondas incidentes. Diante dos resultados, adotou-se um coeficiente de amortecimento linear ótimo para as ondas regulares incidentes e manteve-se coeficiente de amortecimento quadrático nulo. Para esta situação, as séries temporais de elevação de superfície livre foram comparadas com séries temporais teóricas, mostrando uma excelente concordância entre elas. Após aferição da praia numérica, foi realizada a simulação com incidência de onda irregular definida pelo espectro do tipo JONSWAP. Analisando a evolução do espectro de energia e comparando-o com o imposto, verificou-se uma boa concordância entre os espectros medidos ao longo das sondas de monitoramento e o espectro imposto. Concluiu-se, através desse estudo, que o Fluent v. 16 e a metodologia utilizada permitem realizar a simulação da propagação de ondas regulares e, principalmente, irregulares em um canal bidimensional com praia numérica de forma adequada.

Evaluation of wave overtopping consequences for risk assessment using ANP methodology
Adverse sea conditions can cause emergency situations associated to wave overtopping, which endanger the safety of people and goods, with negative impacts for society, the economy and the environment. Therefore, a methodology to assess the overtopping risk in port and coastal areas is essential for a proper planning and management of these areas.The Portuguese National Laboratory for Civil Engineering (LNEC) has been developing the HIDRALERTA system, an integrated decision-support tool for port and coastal management, which focus in preventing and supporting the management of emergency situations and the long-term planning of interventions in the study areas. It enables the user to calculate the risk for various port and coastal activities, starting with the characterization of sea-waves, wind field and tide levels at the study regions.HIDRALERTA was already tested at different places in Portugal: Costa da Caparica beach, in Almada, and port of Praia da Vitória, in the Azores. However, in both cases, the evaluation of wave overtopping / flooding consequences was carried out using a quite simple approach. In fact, such consequences were assessed only at a global and qualitative level, based on information provided by the responsible authorities.This paper aims at testing a quantitative methodology to evaluate overtopping consequences: the Analytic Network Process (ANP). This methodology was proposed to solve complex decision-making problems and its objective is to calculate the priorities among decision elements which will define their final weights on the consequences. The ANP approach can produce interdependencies between criteria and compute the respective weight of each criterion. Such a network model with dependence and feedback improves the priorities derived from judgements and makes prediction more accurate. So, the ANP allows comparison among clusters of elements. Furthermore, in this methodology we take into account the impacts of alternatives on the importance of criteria, by normalizing the comparison matrix. Thus, the given alternatives can influence the ranking of criteria.Application of the ANP methodology to the case study of Praia da Vitória port is presented and a consequences level map is obtained.

O sistema SWAMS_ALERTA é um sistema de previsão e alerta baseado na avaliação do risco associado ao comportamento de navios amarrados em zonas portuárias.Os riscos associados a navios amarrados decorrem de movimentos excessivos, quer no plano horizontal, quer no plano vertical. Estes movimentos podem condicionar as atividades portuárias, nomeadamente cargas e descargas, mas em casos extremos podem levar à ocorrência de situações de emergência, tais como rotura de cabos, rotura de cabeços de amarração ou até colisões com o cais. As consequências deste tipo de situações envolvem sempre grandes prejuízos materiais e por vezes humanos.O sistema SWAMS_ALERTA utiliza as medições e previsões de agitação marítima para a determinação dos seus efeitos em termos de movimentos nos seis graus de liberdade e forças nas amarras e defensas quando o navio se encontra estacionado no cais. Para tal, o sistema recorre a uma série de modelos numéricos, interligados entre si. A comparação destes valores com valores máximos admissíveis pré-estabelecidos permite a avaliação, em tempo real, de situações de emergência e a emissão de alertas dirigidos às entidades portuárias.O sistema é constituído por 4 módulos:I
