“…For these reasons, it has become increasingly important to develop methodologies and tools capable of forecasting and monitoring wind waves in reservoirs and stretches of waterway. In this sense, controlling the level of agitation of the reservoir's free surface and its effects on fixed or mobile structures and banks is, in fact, an essential element in building a basis for a future warning system [8,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21].…”

Deterministic simulations using the SWAN model were conducted along a stretch of the Tietê-Paraná waterway in the Ilha Solteira dam reservoir, São Paulo, Brazil, to assess the water waves generated by winds. Simultaneously employs a probabilistic metamodeling approach (PCE) and Sobol indices, to quantify uncertainty of the five involved physical parameters (wind velocity and direction, bottom friction (JONSWAP), whitecapping and depth-induced breaking index). In the deterministic part, Janssen’s formulation yielded the most successful and accurate estimations of wave heights. Probabilistic analysis underscored the importance of wind data and the whitecapping parameter in model calibration, with a significant influence of wind speed indicated by Sobol indices. The results not only refined the model calibration process, but also allowed the creation of contour maps for wave height and period that offer practical pre-project applications. This work advances understanding of wind wave hydrodynamics deterministically and probabilistically, with good concordance and performance indices compared to field data, despite being scarce.

“…For example, a previous study was reported by Franklin et al [21], who analyzed the impact of reef roughness on the hydrodynamic characteristics across a reef at the laboratory scale using the RANS model. Li et al [22] evaluated the effects of varying fore-reef slopes and reef flat water levels on the regular wave interaction with an experimental reef via the RANS model together with a standard k-ω SST turbulence closure. Osorio-Cano et al [23] adopted a Large Eddy Simulation (LES) model to investigate cross-reef wave damping due to wave breaking and seabed friction based on a field reef profile.…”

The aim of this study is to better understand cross-reef wave-driven current characteristics, which are crucial to biological, ecological, and geomorphological processes within coral reefs. This study reports a set of new wave flume measurements to assess flow along the water depth and across a fringing reef profile under the action of a plunging breaker. Laboratory results are presented in view of cross-reef variations in both the wave height and the mean water level (MWL); the vertical profiles of wave-averaged mean currents below the wave trough and along the reef are also presented. To resolve the two-dimensional vertical (2DV) flow characteristics across the reef, Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations were solved using k-ω SST closure, modified to improve stability, and a Volume of Fluid (VOF) approach was used to capture the water surface. This numerical model was first validated via experimental measurements in view of waves and flows. It was then used to analyze the cross-reef distributions of the mean flow field, turbulent kinetic energy (TKE), and Reynolds shear stress across the reef.

In this sense, the control over the reservoir's free surface agitation level and its effects on fixed or mobile structures and on the margins is indeed an essential element in the construction of a basis for a future alert system (Diebold & Heller, 2017;Marques & Andrade, 2017;Mattosinho et al, 2018;Różyński, 2018;Jalil et al, 2019;Li et al, 2019;Mattosinho et al, 2019;Holanda et al, 2020).…”

The SWAN (Simulating WAves Nearshore) numerical model has been used and validated in numerous studies of open coastal and estuarine regions. Its application on inland or restricted waters (dam reservoir) is not only innovative and challenging, but also an important scientific contribution, filling a gap in the literature. We analyze the performance of the SWAN in the characterization of the agitation caused by the action of wind waves in the reservoir of the Ilha Solteira dam, considering measured wind velocities and a complex bathymetry. The studied area is close to a segment of the Tietê-Paraná waterway, in Brazil. Wind conditions were obtained by a 2D sonic anemometer installed in the reservoir during one of the measurement campaigns, for a period of 3 months. The estimates of the amplitude of waves generated in the reservoir were compared with measurements of the free surface elevation obtained by a Druck pressure sensor installed in the reservoir of the dam, about 300 m from the margin (already in intermediate/deep waters), and 1.0 m deep. The results obtained (amplitudes and wave periods) were shown to be promising and, albeit with significative heights overestimated, could be used for engineering preliminary drafts.
