Energy rate balance applied to coastal engineering problems by using RANS-VoF models in numerical wave flumes 
Nowadays, the use of RANS-based models for simulating numerical wave flumes and studying coastal engineering structures is common and allows investigating accurately phenomena that occur in current/wavestructure interactions. Comprehension of energy transformations in these processes can support designers tooptimize the system. In this study, a methodology to evaluate the terms of the energy rate balance in coastalengineering problems is developed. The methodology is applied to the propagation of regular waves in numericalwave flumes, onshore oscillating water column wave energy converter integrated into a vertical breakwater, andtwo types of rubble-mound breakwaters. The direct determination of the energy rate due to viscous and urbulencelosses and the porous resistance in rubble-mound breakwaters are carried out by time integration insidethe computational domain. Besides, the reflected and transmitted energy rates in the flume are calculated bymeans of this methodology, instead of the standard gauge methods, commonly used in physical and numericalflumes. Complementary, studies may be carried out for random incident waves and the methodology can beapplied to 3D wave tanks.

An assessment of 3D scanning methods in physical models
The evaluation of damage progression caused by wave action on physical models of rubble-mound breakwaters can be accomplished through two types of methods: quantifying the movements and falls of the resistant armor elements by visual inspection (the traditional, classical method) or determining the eroded volumes and depths between consecutive surveys of armor layers using sensors and photogrammetric methods (3D scanning methods). Of the latter, one may use techniques such as the so-called "Kinect", "Photogrammetry" and "LiDAR". The end-product of these techniques is, among others, point clouds, which allow obtaining three-dimensional surface models. In this paper, four of the latter techniques (3D scanning methods) are briefly described, and a comparison is made between them regarding their usability in current tests, their advantages and disadvantages, among themselves for a study case of the physical 3D model of the Ericeira breakwater. In evaluating survey quality across the four methods, RMSE (root mean square error) was employed to align obtained point clouds with ground control points (GCP). Notably, Photogrammetry, Kinect, and Azure techniques showed excellent RMSE values. Conversely, the LiDAR-derived-method cloud, using a smartphone with LiDAR sensor and 3dScanner app, fails to yield acceptable and accurate results for the research objectives of this paper.

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.

Experimental study on drag coefficient of flexible vegetation under non-breaking waves
Laboratory experiments of wave propagation over rigid and flexible vegetation fields, with the same configurations, were conducted to understand the effect of vegetation flexibility on the drag coefficient (CD). The direct method and the least squares method (LSM), based on force and flow measurements, are applied to calculate the CD in the experimental conditions. The formulations of both methods are extended to estimate the CD for flexible vegetation cases. A video analysis was performed to account for the swaying motion. Typically, wave dissipation is lower for flexible than for rigid vegetation of the same configuration, under the same flow condition. Therefore, a proportional effect in the corresponding CD results, obtained from common CD calibration to wave dissipation without considering vegetation motion, is usually observed. However, the present results show that although the wave dissipation was 34% lower for flexible relative to rigid vegetation, the respective CD values were close. CD estimations considering vegetation motion and inertia suggest that CD of flexible vegetation was up to 13% higher relative to rigid vegetation. Accounting for inertia reduced the CD for rigid vegetation up to 7%, while raised the CD for flexible vegetation up to 13%.

An estimation of the armour layer damage based on the eroded volume using a time of flight method
The assessment of damage evolution in scale model tests of rubble-mound breakwaters can be achieved by comparing eroded depths and volumes between consecutive surveys. Aiming to evaluate damage evolution on rubble-mound breakwater, scale model tests were recently conducted on the maritime hydraulic facilities of the National Laboratory for Civil Engineering. This paper focuses on the use of novel, non-intrusive survey methodologies such as the Time of Flight (ToF) principle technique. Damage evaluation is based on the comparison of point clouds obtained before and after each test series, enabling the extraction of profiles, the calculation of eroded depths and eroded volumes and the estimation of displaced units.

Assessment of potential locations for OWC instalation at the portuguese coast
This work aims to determine the exploitable wave energy resource at six potential sites, located in the Azores, Madeira and Sines. For that purpose, the third-generation wave model SWAN is used to estimate the sea-wave conditions over the last 40 years. Boundary conditions of the sea states and wind fields are provided by the climate reanalysis datasets ERA5. Using those results as inputs to the SWAN model, the sea-states were propagated shoreward, in order to estimate and analyse the wave conditions in the regions of interest. By combining the average energy flux per unit-length of wave front and the probability of occurrence of each sea state, the average exploitable annual energy per unit length of wave crest can be computed. The variability of this energy flux is analysed since it is of fundamental importance for the efficiency of the Wave Energy Converters (WEC).

Avaliação do galgamento e espraiamento em quebra-mares de talude. O caso do porto da Ericeira
A avaliação do espraiamento e do galgamento em estruturas de proteção costeira e portuária é fundamental para o projeto de novas estruturas e na verificação da segurança de estruturas já existentes. A sua determinação tem como objetivos principais a definição da cota de coroamento da estrutura e o estabelecimento das condições de serviço dessa estrutura. Uma das metodologias mais utilizadas para a avaliação do espraiamento e do galgamento em estruturas marítimas é a modelação física. Nessa metodologia, são várias as técnicas que podem ser usadas para a avaliação desses fenómenos físicos. Neste âmbito, salientam-se o uso de sondas resistivas, de balança ou de imagens vídeo. Neste trabalho são apresentados os resultados de um estudo em modelo físico do espraiamento e galgamento da estrutura de proteção portuária do Porto da Ericeira para diferentes condições de agitação marítima. Comparam-se ainda várias técnicas de avaliação do espraiamento e do galgamento que foram utilizadas nesses ensaios em modelo físico para avaliar o seu desempenho.

Comportamento de navios amarrados nos portos de São Roque e de Madalena do Pico durante as tempestades Lorenzo e Elsa
Neste trabalho apresentam-se os resultados de simulações numéricas do comportamento de um navio ferry amarrado nos dois portos da ilha do Pico, São Roque e Madalena, durante a passagem recente de duas grandes tempestades, nomeadamente o furacão Lorenzo entre 2 e 5 de outubro de 2019 e a depressão Elsa entre 19 e 22 de dezembro de 2019. No âmbito do projeto ECOMARPORT encontra-se em desenvolvimento um sistema de alerta para os riscos de navios amarrados nos referidos portos. Este sistema permite prever com 72 horas de antecedência os efeitos da agitação marítima em navios amarrados, mais concretamente, os seus movimentos e forças no sistema e amarração. A comparação destes resultados com os limites de segurança e de operacionalidade do terminal portuário permite avaliar o risco e tomar medidas preventivas. Os resultados obtidos em cada um dos portos permite comparar a eficácia da amarração proposta.

Forças na superestrutura do quebra-mar da Ericiera: efeitos de possível subida do nível do mar
Esta comunicação apresenta uma análise dos coeficientes de segurança ao derrubamento e ao deslizamento na superestrutura do quebra-mar do Porto da Ericeira quando sujeito à acção de temporais, calculados com base nas forças obtidas por aplicação das fórmulas aplicáveis a este caso de estudo. Dada a previsão de subida do nível do mar na costa oeste portuguesa, é importante analisar a sua influência no agravamento das forças nas superestruturas destas estruturas e, consequentemente, na estabilidade da superestrutura. Para tal, foram calculadas as forças horizontais e verticais e respetivos coeficientes de segurança que se exercem na superestrutura do quebra-mar utilizando as condições de agitação no pé da estrutura obtidas de modelos de hindcast considerando os níveis de maré atuais e para uma projeção de subida do nível do mar de 5 mm/ano. A análise de resultados permitiu concluir que o efeito da subida do nível do mar reduz ligeiramente a segurança desta superestrutura para o cenário considerado, não sendo a alteração significativa.

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.

Sistema de alerta para a navegação em portos
Apresenta-se um novo sistema de alerta para navios amarrados em portos que se encontra em desenvolvimento no Laboratório Nacional de Engenharia Civil. 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.
