DYNLET1 Application to Federal Highway Administration Projects

Authors:

Abstract and Figures

This study was sponsored by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) whose primary interest is in the development of a statistical approach for estimating frequency-indexed currents impacting bridge piers at project sites. Model DYNLET1 is used to compute the storm-induced velocities near bridge piers. DYNLET1 is a one-dimensional (1-D), shallow-water equation, hydrodynamic model for predicting velocities and water level fluctuations in a system of inlets and bays (Amein and Kraus 1991, 1992). An important feature of the model is the ability to accurately represent flow distribution across any cross section, given the inherent limitations of a 1 -D model. This report describes the process of applying DYNLET1 to a tidal inlet, specifically to Brunswick Harbor, Georgia, for the purpose of estimating tide and storm response at U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) project sites.

Preface
The
DYNLETI
numerical
model was
originally
developed
by
Dr.
Michael
Amein,
Civil
Analysis
Group,
Inc., Raleigh,
North
Carolina, under
contract
to
the
U.S.
Army
Engineer
Waterways
Experiment
Station
(WES)
Coastal
Engineering
Research
Center
(CERC).
The
model
is
capable
of
simulating
one-dimensional
(1-D)
fluid flow
from
the
ocean
through
a
tidal
inlet,
to
back-
bay
regions,
and
up
tributaries.
An
important
feature
of
the
model
is
the
ability
to accurately
represent
flow
distribution
across
any
cross
section,
given
the
inherent
limitations
of
a
1-D
model.
The
purpose
of
this
study,
sponsored
by
the
U.S.
Department
of
Transportation
(DOT),
is
to
document
the current
model
version
with
specific
emphasis
on
DOT
neazcs
and
to
apply
the
model
to DOT-selected
example
project
sites.
A
companion
report
prepared
for
the
DOT
covers model
theory
and
documentation.
This
report
focuses
on
application
procedures
and
examples.
Of
primary
interest
to
the
DOT
is
the
development
of
a statistical
approach
for
estimating
return
periods
of
velocities
impacting
bridge piers
at
project
sites.
DYNLET1
is
used
to
compute
the
storm-induced
velocities.
Knowledge
of
storm-induced
velocities
will
improve estimation
of
potential
scour
at
bridge piers.
The
statistical
approach used
in
this
study
was
developed
by
Dr.
Norman
W.
Scheffner, Research
Hydraulic Engineer,
Oceanography
Branch,
CERC,
and
his
outstanding
effort
is
acknowledged.
This
work
was
performed
under the
direct
supervision
of
Mr.
Bruce
A.
Ebersole, Chief,
Coastal
Processes
Branch,
and Mr.
H.
Lee
Butler,
Chief,
Research
Division, and
under
the
general
supervision
of
Dr.
James
R.
Houston
and
Mr. Charles
C.
Calhoun,
Jr.,
Director
and
Assistant
Director,
respectively, CERC.

Introduction
Model
DYNLETI
is
a
one-dimensional
(I-D),
shallow-water
equation,
hydrodynamic
model
for
predicting
velocities
and
water
level
fluctuations
in
a
system
of
inlets
and
bays (Amein
and
Kraus
1991,
1992).
The objecti,•
of
this
report
is
to
describe
the
process
of
applying
DYNLETI
to
a
tidal inlet,
specifically to
Brunswick
Harbor,
Georgia,
for
the
purpose
of
estimating
tide
and
storm response
at
U.S.
Department
of
Transportation
(DOT)
project
sites.
A
second
inlet,
Charleston
Harbor,
S
uth
Carolina,
will
be used
for
hands-on
training
in
model
application
at
a
DOT
sponsored workshop. Limited
documentation
of
the
second
application
is
also
presented
in
this
report.
Model
theory
and
a
user's
guide were described
in
a
companion
report
(Cialone
and
Amein
1993).
The
process
of
model
application involves several
steps
including
data
acquisition,
grid
development,
model
validation,
and
storm
application.
In
this
report,
data
requirements
for
model
validation
as
well
as
for
storm
simulations
are
presented.
The
details
of
grid
development
are
given
in
a
companion
report
(Cialone
and
Amein
1993).
Typically,
DYNLETI
is
tidally-calibrated with field data
to
a
specific
project
site. However,
if
historical
storm surge
data are
available,
a
storm
calibration
is
performed.
Once
calibrated,
DYNLETI
is
used to
simulate
the
hydrodynamic
response
of
the
system
to storm
events.
Storm
hydrographs
are
used
as
input
to
DYNLETI
and model
results are
saved
at
critical locations
(i.e.,
near
a
bridge
pier).
Velocities
produced
by
the
model
are thus used
to
construct velocity-
frequency curves
for
a
specific
area.
This report
covers
the
entire
application
process.
A
primary
DOT
goal
is
to
develop methodology
for
estimating
frequency-
indexed
currents
impacting
bridges.
DYNLETI
is an
excellent
model
for
computing
storm currents
precisely
at
bridge
piers,
however,
a
statistical
procedure
is
needed
to
select
what
events
to
simulate
and
how
the
results
should
be
analyzed
to
yield
frequency
of
occurrence
of
storm-induced
velocities.
Chapter
2
of
the
report
discusses
the
process
of
tidal
simulation
and
model
calibration.
A
simplified statistical
procedure
for
storm
selection
is
presented
in
Chapter
3
and
analysis methods
for the
resulting data
are
reported
in
Chapter
4.

Tide
Simulation
Background
Before
using
a
numerical
model
as
a
project
design
tool,
it
must
be
cali-
brated
with
field
data
to
ensure that
the
model
variables
are
properly
*tuned"
to
a
specific
project
site.
A
model
that
can
properly
simulate
hydrodynamics
at
a given site
during
one time
period (preferably
two
time
periods
with
varying
conditions)
can
then
be
confidently
used to
predict
flow conditions
during other
time
periods. The major steps
in
a
hydrodynamic
model
simula-
tion
of
a
tidal inlet
are:
a.
Acquiring
data
for
use
in
model
calibration
and
validation.
b.
Developing
a
grid
network
which
represents the
inlet
system.
c.
Digitizing
cross-section bathymetry,
and
obtaining
boundary condition
time
series
and
other
required
model
input
data.
d.
Calibrating the
model
to
measured data by
adjusting parameters
such
as
local
friction
or
channel
transition
loss
cuficients.
e.
Validating
the
model
by
assessing
model
performance
against other
known
data
sets.
f.
Applying
the
model
to
assist project
engineering.
This
section briefly
discusses
seme
of
the
elements
in
this process.
Data
Requirements
The primary
data
required for
model
application
are
bathymetric
data
and
boundary forcing
data.
In
addition,
velocity and/or
water
level
data
at
sites
within the inlet/back
bay
system
are needed
for comparison to
model
results.
Bathymetry
data
(on
bathymetric
charts)
can
be
obtained
from the
National
Oceanic
and
Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA),
the
U.S.
Geological
Survey
(USGS),
or
from
a
local
U.S.
Army
Corps
of
Engineers (COE)

Chapter

Tide
Simulation
District.
Boundary condition
specifications
are
an
integral
part
of
the
input
data
set.
Generally,
they
consist
of
tidal
elevation
forcing
just
outside
the
inlet
entrance
and
river
discharge
information
for other
external
(river)
boundaries
of
the
system.
These
data
may
be
available from
the
same
three
agencies
mentioned
above.
Field
data
collection
efforts
to
obtain
tide
and
current
response
in
various
inlet/back
bay
systems
have
been conducted
from
time
to
time
by
state
and
Federal
agencies.
Inquiries
should be made
to
determine
the
existence
of
data
sets
pertinent
to
a
study site.
Current
data are
extremely
useful
in
validating
a
model
application. Data
for
examples
given
in
this
report
were
obtained
from the
Federal
Highway
Administration
and
COE
studies.
Similar
data may
be
obtained
from
the
local
COE
District,
NOAA, USGS,
or
from
the
U.S.
Army
Engineer Waterways
Experiment
Station
(WES)
which has conducted
a
large number
of
physical
and numerical
model
studies,
publishing
useful
data
in
project technical
reports.
In
lieu
of
specific
data
for
a
project
site,
NOAA
Current
Tables
(U.S.
Department
of
Commerce
1986)
may
provide
useful
information
on
peak
current
speeds. As
a
example,
Figure
1
gives
current predictions
for
Charleston
Harbor
during
September
and
October
1987.
Calibration
The
process
of
model
calibration
involves
applying the
model
for
a
period
of
time
when measured
data are
available
to
assess
how
well
the results are
replicating
flow
characteristics
of
the
system.
At
a
minimum,
it
is
important
to accurately
represent
the
head loss
which
occurs
across
a
typical inlet.
This
requires
time
series data
for
water elevation
on the
open
coast
and
in
the
back
bay.
Synoptic measurements
of
time
series
of
current
data at
specific
locations
in
the
inlet
or
back-bay
channels,
especially
at
locations
near
the
bridge
site
of
interest,
are extremely
useful
in
obtaining a
good
model
calibration.
For
a
typical
tidal
calibration
simulation,
the
model
is
driven
with
measured
tide
or
velocity
data at
the
ocean
boundary
and
the water
surface
fluctuation
and/or
velocity
model
response
is
compared
to
measured data
at
one
or
more
locations
in
the
system. Certain parameters
can
then
be
adjusted,
over
a
realistic range,
until
a
satisfactory
comparison
is
reached.
Key
parameters
which
the
engineer
must
select are
friction
(represented
by
a
Manning's
n)
and
transition
loss
coefficients (given by K,,
an
empirical
form-drag
coefficient).
Of
course,
it is
very
important
to
have
the
inlet and back bay
geometries
accurately represented
with
a
grid
ne•work
and
cross-section
data. Assuming
the
system
geometry
is
correct,
initiu
values
for
n
range
between
0.02
and
0.04
and
0.4
to
0.6
for
K..
Increasing
n
represents
higher
friction
due
to
coarser
bottom
sand,
vegetation,
or other
flow
restriction,
and
increasing
K,
represents
a
greater
rate
of
energy
loss due
to
flow
expansion
or
contraction.
This
coefficient,
as
well
as
Manning's
n,
may
be
needed
to fine
tune
the
velocity
calibration
for
flow
through
sharp
channel
constrictions,

Storm
Simulation
Background
As
discussed in
the
DYNLET1 documentation
(Cialone
and
Amein
1993),
it
is
important
to
validate
the
models
for
tidal
dynamics
prior
to
project
application.
It
is
equally
as
important
to
check
model
representation
of
extreme
events
(if
data
are
available).
In
most
cases,
the
model
domain
will
be
small enough
to
ignore
wind
effects
from a storm
and
simply
drive
the
model
at
the
ocean
boundary
with
a
time
series
of
water elevation.
However,
if
wind
data
are
available
and
used,
the
model
solution
will
be
more
accurate.
The
key data required
to
run
storms on
inlet
grids
or
small
inlet-bay
systems
are
time
series
of
water elevation.
Historical
storm
surge
data
for
a
project
site
should
be
researched,
acquired
if
available,
and
tested
in the
model for
the
purpose
of
model
validation
for
surge
events.
Hurricane
wind
and
pressure
fields
can
be
represented
and
simulated
by
use
of
an
empirical
model
which
represents
the
storm
with
five
parameters
(Figure
2):
(a)
central
pressure,
(b)
radius
to
maximum
winds
(R),
(c)
for-
ward
speed (t),
and
(d)
track
(described
by
travelling direction
and
landfall
point).
Central
pressure
is
closely associated
with
the
storm
intensity
whereas
R
andf
are
associated
with
extent
and
duration
of
impact
at
the
shore.
This
concept
leads
to
a simple
way
to estimate
the
probability
of
exceedance
of
a
water
level
or
velocity at
any
particular
point
in
the
model
domain.
A
more
rigorous
statistical
method
could
be
developed
if
a
comprehensive
frequency-indexed database
of
storm
response
was
available
at
all
coastal
locations.
This
database
is
currently being
develop
by
WES
and
the
methodology
for
using it
to estimate frequency-index
storm response
may
replace
the
method
described
in
this
report.
Storm
Selection
Storm
data at
most
coastal
locations
are difficult
to obtain.
Three
agencies
are
the
best
source
for
data:
NOAA,
the Federal Emergency
Management
Administration
(FEMA),
and
the
COE. FEMA
has
established
flood
fre-
quency
lines
for the
purpose
of
creating
insurance
guidelines.

NOAA
has
conducted several
site
specific
studies
at
various
coastal
locations
but
there
is
no
general coverage
of
all
U.S.
coastlines.
The
local
COE
District
or
WES
may
be
a
source
of
data for DOT
studies.
The
following procedures
require
a
minimum
amount
of
data.
Selection
of
storms
to
simulate for the
purpose
of
estimating
frequency-indexed
velocities
is
based
on
knowing only surge-plus-tide
stage
at
specific
return
periods.
A
given
stage
can
be
achieved
by
varying
storm
intensities, size
(R),
forward
speed
(f),
track,
and
its
combination with the
tide.
The
objective
is
to
develop
a
set
of
storm
parameters
(R,
f)
which,
when combined with tidal
possibil-
ities,
form
a
total set
of
storm-tide
events

conditions
that
may
occur
at
a given site.
Exceedance
probabilities
can
then
be
attached
to
the
computed
velocities
through
a
rank-order process. The
initial step
is
to
select values
for
R
and
f
which
represent
maximum
and
minimum
storm
duration
(D)
by
dividing
estimates
of
maximum
and
minimum
R
by
the
minimum
and
maximum
f,
respectively.

whether
there
is
one
or
two
high/low
tides
per
day.
The
pressure
at
a
distance
r
from
the
storm
center
can
be
expressed
as:
p,
=
p.
+ (p. -
p,,)e-(4)
(3)
Since
surge
intensity varies with
central
pressure
deficit,
Equation
3
can
be
used
to
show
the
time evolution
of
surge height,
represented
by
s()
=
S,(i
-
e
W)
(4)
where
S(t)
is
surge
level
at time
t.
Two
surge
hydrographs
for
maximum and
minimum
durations are
developed
using
Equation
4.
Surge plus tide
can
be
obtained
by
adding
H,
and
S(t)
at
a
specified
phase
of
the
tide,
noting
the
peak
value.
The
next
step
is
to
adjust
Sp
such
that
the
maximum
water
elevation
for
a
given
combination
is equal
to
the
specified
value
S,.
This procedure
is
equivalent
to
backing
out
a
surge-only
hydrograph
which, when
combined
with
a
particular
position
in the
tide,
gives
the
known
stage
specified by
NOAA/FEMA.
By
running
DYNLETI
for
the
two
surge
hydrographs
combined
with
four
tide positions
gives eight
storm-plus-tide
events which
produce the
specified
stage
at
a
given
return
period.
For
each
storm-tide combination, velocity
at
specified locations in
the
model
are
recorded
for later
statistical
analysis.
The
range
of
velocities covers
the
range
of
possible
storm-tide
events.
Exceedance
probabilities
can
then
be
attached
to
the
velocities
through
a
rank-order
process.

Storm
Simulation
Data
Requirements
To
use
the
procedures
discussed above,
certain
tide
and
storm
data
are
required.
Most
of
these
data
are
readily
available
and,
to
a
great
extent,
are
presented
in
this
report.
Tide
data
Tide
data
on the
open
coast
for
all
U.S.
coastal
locations
are
available
in
NOAA
Tide
Tables (U.S. Department
of
Commerce
1982).
A
1982
publica-
tion
is
referenced,
however
these tables
are
published
annually.
The
key
data
required are
estimates
of
mean
tide
ranges
which
are
given
in
U.S.
Department
of
Commerce
(1982) and
rarely
change
from
year
to
year.
Figure
3
displays
locations
of
primary
reference stations
where
daily
predictions
of
high
and
low water
are
available.
Figure
4
shows
the
areal
extent
of
tidal
types
for the
east
coast
and
Gulf
of
Mexico.
For
use
with
the
above
procedure,
a
mixed
tide
condition
can
be
considered
as
a
semidiurnal
tide.
Storm
data
NOAA
has
compiled
data
on
nearly
1000
tropical storms
covering
a
period
of
over
100
years.
Figures
5-9
show storm
tracks
for
tropical
cyclones
from
1886-1980.
These
curves
give
information
on the
frequency
of
landfalling
or
alongshore
hurricanes
and frequency
of
occurrence
for
given
months
and
regions.
The
most
important
data
required
in
the
procedure
outlined
above
are
estimates
for
characteristic parameters,
R
andf,
which are associated with
storm
duration
and
extent
of
impact. NOAA
published a comprehensive
analysis (U.S.
Department
of
Commerce
1975)
of
available
storm
data
in
1975.
Figures
10-12
display
probability distributions
of
radius
of
maximum
winds
and
forward
speed
Oandfalling
and
alongshore). Results
are
identified
with
a
given percentile
of
occurrence.
These
data
can
be
used
to
develop
the
precise
input
for
developing
storm-tide
combinations
required
by the
storm
model.
Model
Validation
for
Storms
Data
for
model
validation
(elevations
and/or
currents)
may
be
available
from
the
local
COE
district,
WES,
FEMA.
or
NOAA.
Prior
to
estimating
frequency-indexed velocities,
it
is
recommended
to
research
and
acquire
any
available
data
taken
during
a
storm
event.
The
same model
parameters
and
coefficients
used
for
tidal calibration
are
the starting
values
for storm

validation.
Generally,
these
values are
appropriate
for
extreme events
as
well
as
typical
tides.
Wind may
play
an
important
part
in the simulation
of
storm
impacts
and
should be used
if
available.
It
is
wise
to
test
the
sensitivity
of
the
results
by
running the
model
with
and
without
wind forcing.
In
most
cases
(because
the
model
domain
is
usually
small in area
and/or
fetch
lengths
over
open
water
are short), forcing the
model
at
the
ocean
boundary with
a
measured
storm
hydrograph
(which
inherently
contains wind
effects)
is
sufficient to
compute
a
valid
elevation
and
velocity
response
in the
model
interior
due
to
the
storm.
T,.is,
however,
neglects
local
wind
effects
and
their
impact
should
be
investi-
gated
during
sensitivity testing.
Validation
of
the
model
for
storm
events
follows
the
same
procedure
as for
tidal
validation.
Measured
elevations
are used to
check model
representation
of
head
loss
and/or
measured
velocities in
the
inlet
or
back-bay
channels
are
compared
to
model
currents.
The
usual
model
parameters
adjusted
to
obtain
the
best
agreement
are friction
and
transition
loss
coefficients.
If
results
show
a
poor
comparison,
it
is
advisable to
carefully
check
the
bathymetric
cross-
sections
for
accuracy.
If
any
coefficients
or
depths
are
changed,
the
tidal
validation
computations
should
be
rechecked
with
the
new
parameter
values.

Statistical

Program
SSEL
A
Storm
SELection
(SSEL)
program
is
run
to
create
a
set
of
elevation
time
series
to
use
as
an
ocean
forcing
(external)
boundary
condition
in
DYNLETL.
SSEL
is
a FORTRAN
PC-based
program
(see
Appendix
A
for the
FORTRAN
program listing)
which
accepts
as
input,
values
for
R,
f,
stage,
and
mean
tidal
amplitude.
The
program
develops
eight hypothetical
storm-plus-tide
events
(according
to
the
procedures
discussed
in
Chapter
3)
and
eight
associated
time
series
for
input
to DYNLET1. SSEL
prompts the user
for
six
inputs:
a.
Two values
of
radius
of
maximum
winds in nautical miles.
b.
Two
values
of
forward
speed
in
knots.
c.
Stage
of
surge
plus
tide
for
a
specified
return period.
d.
Mean
tide
range
from
NOAA
Tide
Tables
in feet.
e.
Tide
type
(enter
a
1.0
for
a
diurnal
tide;
2.0
for
semidiurnal).
f.
Output
time
interval
in
hours
(enter
a
time
interval
for
computing
the
time
series).
SSEL
is
run
for
each
stage at a
specified
return
period
and
the
time-series'
created
(SSEL.OUT)
are
saved
for
input
to
DYNLETI.
File
SSEL.OUT
must
be
manipulated
using
program
FIXEXTER
to create eight
individual
storm
EXTER.DAT
files
for
DYNLET1
and
program
FIXSTART
to
create
eight
individual
storm START.DAT
files
for
DYNLETI
(Cialone
and Amein
1993).
Velocities
at
specific
model
locations
for
each
DYNLETI
simulation
are
saved
on
file
(VELOCITY.DAT)
for
later
analysis.
These
values
of
velocity give
an
estimate
of
velocity range
for
storms
that
can
produce
a
given
stage.
Usually, the
user
wants to compute velocity
ranges
for
several
return
period
stages,
e.g.,
the
10-,
20-,
50-,
100-,
and
500-year
stage.

The

For
the

the

varies
from
about

to

Analysis
of
Velocity
Data
For
each
known stage
and
interior
gage
where
currents
are
to
be
analyzed,
the
eight
peak
flood
and ebb
velocities
obtained
from
DYNLETI
are
ranked
from
one
to eight, with
the
smallest
flood
(ebb)
velocity
ranked
as
one.
The
cumulative
probability,
P,
for
a
particular
velocity
from
one
of
the
eight
events
is given
by
P
=M/(
+
N)
(5)
where
M
is
the
order
number
of
the
event and
N
is
the
number
of
events,
namely,
N
=
8.
Thus
P
=
M19
is
the
probability
associated
with
the
appro-
priate
ranked
velocity.
This
range
of
velocity
gives
an
estimate
of
the
strength
of
current
expected
for
a given stage
return
period,
covering the
range
of
storm durations
and
possible
tide
combinations associated
with that
stage.
This
approach
is
limited
in
that
a
very
small
number
of
possible
combinations
are
used
to
minimize
the
number
of
DYNLETI
simulations
required.
A
more
conservative
estimate
could
be
made
by
selecting
more
extreme values
for
R
andf.
Estimates
for
extreme values
may
be
obtained
from U.S.
Department
of
Commerce
(1979).

Program
VANAL
is

Brunswick

Application
This
section
documents
the
application
of
the DYNLETI
model
to
Brunswick
Harbor,
Georgia
with
the
objectives
of:
(a)
calibrating
the
model
to
velocity
measurements
collected
at
the
Sidney
Lanier Bridge
by
the
Georgia
Department
of
Transportation
(GDOT)
Geotechnical
Engineering
Bureau,
and
(b)
performing
storm
simulations
to
determine a
velocity
exceedance
curve
at
the
Sidney
Lanier
Bridge.
Grid
Network
Brunswick
Harbor
is
represented
in
the
model
by
43
cross
sections
or
nodes
in
three
channels
(Figure
14).
The
channels
are
joined
at
a
junction
inside
St.
Simon
Sound.
Nodes
13,
14,
and
25
are
"junction
nodes"
for
Channels
1,
2,
and
3,
respectively,
and
therefore
have
identical
geometric characteristics.
Channel
1
runs
from the
ocean
side
of
St.
Simon Sound
to
the
junction
inside
St.
Simon Sound
(Node
13),
Channel
2
runs from
the
junction
(Node
14)
north through
the
Mackay
River,
and Channel
3
runs from
the
junction
(Node 25)
west through
the Brunswick River,
under
the
Sidney
Lanier Bridge
and
north
through
Turtle
Creek.
Cross-sectional
data
were taken
from
NOAA
Chart
11506
(Scale
1:40,000)
with
the
reference
datum being
mean
lower
low
water
(mllw).
Values
of
Manning's
coefficient
of
friction
were
specified
at
every
point
on
every
cross-
section.
An
initial
value
of
0.02
was
used everywhere,
which
is
reasonable
for
a
sandy
bottom.
Friction
values
for
marshy
areas can
be revised
to obtain
a
better representation
of
hydrodynamics
in
these
areas. Because
there
are
no
severe constrictions
at
Brunswick
Harbor, transition
losses
were
eliminated
by
setting
the
transition
loss
coefficient
to
zero
at
every
cross section.
No
adjustments
to
this value
were
needed
in
the
calibration
procedure.

At the

was specified
indicat-
ing
values
of
water
surface
elevation
as
a

velocity
study
(27
October
1992)
(Figure

were shifted
in

to
approximate conditions
occurring
at
the

node.
At
the

nodes in
the
Mackay

a
Type

upstream. Discharge
was assumed
negligible
and
set
equal

transition
loss
coefficient
of
0.0
was
used
to
obtain
the
best
comparison with
measured
data.
Figures
16
and
17
show
water
surface fluctuation
and
velocity model
results
near
the
Sidney
Lanier
Bridge.
As
previously
stated,
the
water surface
fluct-
uation
at
the
bridge
was
shifted in
phase
and
used
as
the
ocean
boundary
forc-
ing
function.
Figure
16
shows
that the
model
reproduces
the
actual
water
surface
levels
at
the
bridge.
In
addition,
velocity
data
near
the bridge
are
represented
by the
model.
Graphics
for
all
results are given
in
Appendix
C.
Storm
Selection
and
Simulation
For
Brunswick,
most
of
the storms occurring
in
the
area
are alongshore
storms.
However, it
is
recommended
that
the most
conservative estimate
(lowest
value)
of
forward
speed
be
used
in
the
simulations.
Values
of
R
and
f
chosen
for
Brunswick
are
shown
in
Figures
18
and
19.
Landfalling
and
alongshore
data
for
f have been
combined
to
produce
a
single
forward
speed
probability distribution
diagram.
The
GDOT
provided
NOAA data
(Ho
1974)
for
stage
frequency
at
the
Florida/Georgia border
(Figure
20).
For
example
computations, stages
at
return
periods
of
10,
50,
100,
and
500
years,
namely,
7.1,
12.0, 14.5,
and
20.0
ft,
respectively,
were
chosen
as
input to
SSEL
and
DYNLETI
was
run
to
estimate
velocity behavior.
For
tidal
input,
NOAA
Tide
Tables
(U.S.
Department
of
Commerce
1982)
provide
information
on
the
mean
tide
range.

Georgia,
area. The
mean
range
for the
ocean
gage
(St.
Simons
Sound
Bar)
is
6.5
ft
giving
an
amplitude
of
3.25 ft.
SSEL
is
run
for
each
stage
and
a
set
of
eight files
of
surge-plus-tide
time
series
is
saved
for
later
processing
in
DYNLET1.
For
Brunswick,
the
data
used
in
SSEL
are
summarized
as
follows:
R
=
33.1
and
14.5
n.m.
f
=
13.4
and
6.8

S-
=

=
Entered
time
interval
for
DYNLETI
time series
These
four
SSEL
runs produced eight
time
series
hydrographs
for
each
stage.
For
this
example,
32
DYNLETI
simulations were
made
and
velocities at
one
selected
bridge
pier
location
were
saved
for
later
analysis.
Velocity-Frequency
Analysis
Program
VANAL
was
run
for
the
Brunswick
data
produced
by
the
32
DYNLETI
simulations. Data required
included
1
velocity
gage
point,
a
time
series
length
of
41
(1
hr
entries
from hour
30
to
70),
4
stages,
and
stage
values
of
7.1,
12.0, 14.5,
and
20.0 ft.
Probability
tables
created by
VANAL
are given in
Table
1.
These
tables
show
the
percent
of
surge-plus-tide
events
with
velocities
at
the
bridge
pier
which
are
equal
to
or
less
than
the value
of
velocity
indicated
(for
flood
and ebb
conditions).
This
same
information
can
be
expressed in graphical
form
(Figure
22).
As
discussed
previously,
any
given
stage
for
a
particular
return
period
could
be
produced
by
combinations
of
varying storm
intensities,
durations,
and
tidal
phase. While
only
eight
events
at a
particular
stage were
run,
Figure
22
shows
a
linear-with-time
estimate
of
probability
exceedance
seems
appropriate.
An
example
interpretation
of
these results
might
be:
in
designing
a
project
for
a
200
year stage
of
16.9
ft,
the
range
of
flood
velocities
expected
are
from
6.5
to
16.9
ft/sec
with
the
expectation
that
a
current
exceeding
16.9
ft/sec
for
a 200
year
stage
would
occur
less than
11
percent
of
the
time
(see
Figure
22).

Charleston
Harbor
Application
Grid
Network
Charleston
Harbor
is
represented
in
the
model
by
65
cross sections
or
nodes
in
11
channels
(Figure
23).
The
channels
are
joined
at
flow
conver-
gence
points,
and
for
Charleston
Harbor,
six
such
junctions
are
used
to
represent these
convergence
points.
Nodes 6, 7,
and
11
are
junction
nodes
for
Channels
1,
2,
and 3; Nodes
14,
18,
and
26
are
junction
nodes
for
Channels
3,
4,
and
6; and
so
forth.
Channel
I
runs
from
the
ocean
side
of
the
inlet
to
the
junction
inside
the inlet
(Node
6),
Channels
2
and
5
cover
Ashley
River,
Channels
3
and
4
traverse
around
Shutes
Folley
Island, Channel
6
is
a
short
reach extending
from
Shutes
Folley
Island
to
Drum
Island,
Channels
7
and
10
traverse
Wando
River,
Channels
8
and
11
traverse
Cooper
River,
and
Channel
9
negotiates
around
the
north
side
of
Drum
bland.
Cross-sectional
data
were
taken
from
NOAA
chart
11524
(scale
1:20,000)
with
the
reference datum being
mllw.
Values
of
Manning's
coefficient
of
friction
were
specified
at
every
point
on
every
cross section.
An initial
value
of
0.02
was
used
everywhere,
which
is
reasonable
for
a
sandy
bottom.
Friction
values
for
marshy
areas
can
be
revised
to
obtain
a
better representa-
tion
of
hydrodynamics
in
these
areas.
Because
there
are
no
severe constric-
tions
at
Charleston
Harbor,
transition
losses
were
eliminated
by
setting
the
transition
loss
coefficient
to
zero
at
every
cross section.
Tidal
Calibration
At the
ocean
boundary,
Node
1,
a
Type
1
boundary
was specified
indicat-
ing
values
of
water
surface
elevation
as
a
function
of
time were used
as
the
boundary forcing
function. Water
surface
elevation
data
were
obtained
from
WES
Report
H-76-9
(Benson
1976),
which
describes
a
physical
model
study
of
Charleston
Harbor.
At
the
end
nodes
in
the
Ashley,
Wando,
and
Cooper Rivers
(Nodes 25, 58,
and
65,
respectively), a
Type
2
(discharge) boundary
condition
was
specified.

Information
on
stream discharge
was
obtained
from
the
WES
report
by
Benson
(1976).
Current
data
are
also
available
for
comparison
to
model
results.
Channels
and
cross
sections
were
sketched onto
a
NOAA
chart,
cross-
section
elevations
were
read
from
the
NOAA
chart,
time-dependent water
surface elevation
data
were
read
from
Benson
(1976),
and
all
data
were
entered into
the
appropriate
input
files
using
EDINLET.
Storm
Selection and
Simulation
Charleston is similar
to
Brunswick
in
that most
of
the storms occurring in
the
area
are
alongshore storms.
Again,
it
is
recommended
that
conservative
estimates
of
R
andfbe
used
in
the
simulations.
Values
chosen
for
Charleston
are
shown
in
Figures
18
and
19.
For
tidal
input,
NOAA
Tide
Tables
(U.S.
Department
of
Commerce
1982)
provide
information
on
the
mean
tide
range.
Figure 24
displays a
page from
the
1983
Tide
Tables
for
the
Charleston,
South
Carolina,
area.
The
mean
range for
the
ocean
gage (entrance
-
North
Jetty)
is
5.2
ft
giving
an amplitude
of
2.6
ft. The
stage-frequency
curve
(Myers
1975)
for
Charleston
(Figure
25)
can
be
used
for
determining
stage
at
specific
return
periods
for
Charleston.
Results
from
this
application
are
not
included
in
the
report
and
the
reader is
encouraged
to
use
this
case
as
a
training
example.

Analysis
for
Multi-Inlet
Systems
If
a
particular project
can
be
significantly
affected
by
storm-induced
currents
through
multiple
inlets,
a
variation
in
the
procedure
presented
in
previous
chapters can
be
applied.
In
most
cases,
one inlet
will
dominate
the
hydraulics
of
a
given
system
and
the storm
analysis
procedure
can
be
carried
out
as
if
the
dominant
inlet were an independent system.
If
insufficient
knowledge
is
known about
a
given
system,
the
following
technique could
be
used
to
evaluate
how
to
apply
the
present
procedure.
As
stated
previously,
two
storm durations
are
determined
from
NOAA data
and
two
surge hydrographs
Pire
developed
for
each
known stage frequency.
These
hydrographs
are
convolved
with
tide at
each
of
four
specified
phases
to
produce
eight surge-plus-tide
time
series
for
running
DYNLETI. The
same
boundary
condition
cannot
be
used
to
force
two
inlet
entrances
unless
they
are
close
together (for
guidance,
separated by
a
distance
less
than
1/2 R).
The
reason
for
this
is
that
there
is
a
phase
lag
between
the
inlet
entrances
if
the
storm
is
passing
alongshore
(the
lag
being
a
function
of
the forward
speed of
the
storm).
If
the storm
landfalls,
the
surge
at
one
inlet
entrance
will
domi-
nate because
it
is
closer
to
the
storm
center.
One
way
to
overcome
this
pro-
blem
is
to
perform
a
preliminary
analysis
to
determine what
boundary
condi-
tions
are
best
suited
for
conducting
the
velocity-frequency analysis
procedure.
Using
a
similar
analogy
for
the
development
of
Equation
4
for
surge
as
a
function
of
time,
Equation
3
can
be
used
to
show
surge
at
a distance
r
from
the
storm's
peak
surge
(usually at
r
=
R)
S,
=
s.[1
-
(6)
For
example,
if
R
is
33
n.m.
and
the
inlets
are
16.5
n.m.
apart,
an
estimate of
the
peak
surge,
S,,
at
the
second
inlet
would
be
S=
So(l
-
e-2)
=
o.S6So
(7)
or
86
percent
of
the
peak
surge,
S.,
at
inlet
so".
Program
SSEL
can
be
used
to
generate data
for
a
given stage
as
described
previously.
SSEL
can
be
run
again
to
calculate
a
second
set
of
data
for
a
44
Chapter
7
Analysis
for
Multi-Inlet
Systems
stage
which
is
14
percent
less
(for
the
example
above).
The first
of
eight
data
sets
in
each
of
these
two SSEL runs
can be
used
as
boundary conditions
to
DYNLETI for
a
preliminary
test.
For
notation,
call
these
two time
series
B.
and
B,
(the peak
of
B,
is
86
percent
of
that
for
B.).
Here
we
assume
the
grid
network provides
for the
complete
representation
of
both
adjacent
inlets
and
how
they connect
to the
project
site.
The
objective
is
to determine
which
inlet,
if
any,
dominates
the
hydro-
dynamic
regime
at
the project
site. This
can be
done
by
running
DYNLETI
twice,
alternative
use
of
B,
and
B,
at
the
two
inlets.
A
third
run
can
be
made
where one
assumes
the peak stage
occurs
at
the midpoint
between
the
two
inlets.
In
this
case,
Equation
6
can
be
used
with
r
=
8.25
n.m.
(following
the
same
example
above).
Here
we
find
that
the
peak
surge
at
both
inlets
is
98
percent
of
the
surge
at
the
midpoint.
In
fact,
as
stated
in
the
guidance
given
previously,
simply
run
the
same stage
time
series
at
both
inlets.
This
preliminary
test should
be run for
a
reasonable
size
storm
(say
a
50-
or
100-
year
return
period
stage).
The
result-
from
the three runs
can
be
analyzed
to
reveal
which case
pro-
duces
the
largest
flood
and ebb
current
at
the project
site.
Then the
analysis
procedure
described
in
previous
chapters could
be
carried
out for the
multiple
inlet
case
by
applying
the
same
time
series
at
both
inlets
or
by
applying the
time
series
at
one inlet
or
the
other
(decided
from the
above
analysis) and
reducing the
peak
surge
at
the
other
inlet
according
to Equation
6.
The
procedure
described
above
is
probably
conservative.
However,
another
test
could
be
run
to
look
at
a project site
where
storm
passage
along-
shore
dominates
storm
occurrence.
In
this
case,
the time
series
used
at
the
first
inlet
(if
on
the
east
coast
that
would
always be
the
southern-most
inlet)
would
be
lagged in
phase
for
the
second
inlet
by
the
distance between
the
inlets
divided by
the
forward
speed
of
the storm.
Results
from this test
could
be
compared
to
the
tests
above
to
check
the
most
conservative approach.

Summary
This
report
describes
the process
of
applying
DYNLETI
to
a
tidal
inlet,
specifically
to
Brunswick
Harbor,
Georgia,
for the
purpose
of
estimating
tide
and
storm
response
at
DOT
project
sites.
A
primary DOT
goal
is
to develop methodology
for
estimating
frequency-
indexed
currents
impacting
bridges.
DYNLETI
is
an excellent model
for
computing
storm
currents
precisely
at
bridge piers,
however, a
statistical
procedure
is
needed
to select
what
events
to simulate and
how
the
results
should
be
analyzed
to
yield frequency
of
occurrence
of
storm-induced
velocities.
The
process
of
model
application
involves
several steps
including
data
acquisition,
grid
development,
model
validation,
and
storm
application.
In
this
report,
data
requirements
for
model
validation
as
well
as
for
storm
simulations
are presented. Typically,
DYNLETI
is
tidally-calibrated
with
field
data
to
a
specific
project
site. However,
if
historical
storm
surge
data
are
available,
a
storm
calibration
is
performed.
Once calibrated,
DYNLETI
is
used
to
simulate the hydrodynamic
response
of
the
system
to
storm
events.
Storm hydrographs
are
used
as
input
to
DYNLETI
and
model
results
are
saved
at
critical locations
(i.e.,
near a
bridge
pier).
Velocities
produced
by
the
model
are
thus
used to
construct
velocity-frequency
curves
for
a specific
area.
This
report
covers
the entire
application
process.

... The COE method is used to select what events to simulate and how the results should be analyzed. It was applied to estimate probability-exceedance curves at Brunswick Harbor, Georgia (Cialone, Butler, and Amein 1993). ...
... The process of determining scour velocity involves the acquisition of surge and tide values and tropical-storm parameters in order to determine the stormsurge hydrograph that will be used as input to the hydrodynamic model of the estuary. The most important factor in storm modeling is the intensity of the hurricane, which is directly related to its central pressure P ff The pressure at a distance r from the storm center can be expressed as : P r = P 0 + (P r -P 0 )e<"if> (40) where R is the radius at which the wind speed is greatest (Cialone, Butler, and Amein 1993). Since surge intensity varies with central pressure deficit, the hypothetical time evolution of surge height is given by: The hydrodynamic storm-surge simulations used for this study were from the finite element model, ADCIRC-2DDI. ...
... The procedure proposed by the COE is based upon developing a set of storm parameters (radius of maximum winds, R, and forward speed, f), combined with tidal possibilities, in order to approximate the full probable spectrum of conditions that may occur at a site. Cialone, Butler, and Amein (1993) give a complete description of the method. The initial step is to select values fori? ...

This report describes theory and implementation of the Empirical Simulation Technique (EST) procedure for simulating multiple life-cycle sequences of nondeterministic multiparameter systems such as storm events and their corresponding environmental impacts. The EST is based on a Bootstrap resampling-with-replacement interpolation, and subsequent smoothing technique in which random sampling of a finite length database is used to generate a larger database. Parameters describing this expanded database result in the generation of life-cycle simulations of storm-event activity with corresponding impacts. Because the approach is universally valid for effects because of any periodic event forcing, five detailed examples are provided to describe application of the EST for various storm-related impacts. These include vertical erosion of subaqueous disposal mounds, dune and beach recession, maximum storm-surge elevation, combined storm surge and runup on beaches, and maximum velocities associated with bridge pier scour. Each example provides detailed descriptions of the construction of input and response vector space and provides a summary of EST application and study results.

The different theoretical models related with storm wave characterization focus on determining the significant wave height of the peak storm, the mean period and, usually assuming a triangle storm shape, their duration. In some cases, the main direction is also considered. Nevertheless, definition of the whole storm history, including the variation of the main random variables during the storm cycle is not taken into consideration.
... There are a great number of multivariate flood storm models that analyse flood and drought evolution in terms of their duration, magnitude or peak value, e.g. ( Biondi et al., 2002;De Michele and Salvadori, 2003;Goel et al., 1998;Shiau and Shen, 2001;Yue et al., 1999). Other important advance in hydrological field is the synthetic storm surge hydrograph equation proposed by Cialone et al. (1993), later modified by Zevenbergen et al.

Storm evolution is fundamental for analysing the damage progression of the different failure modes and establishing suitable protocols for maintaining and optimally sizing structures. However, this aspect has hardly been studied and practically the whole of the studies dealing with the subject adopt the Equivalent triangle storm. As against this approach, two new ones are proposed. The first is the Equivalent Triangle Magnitude Storm model (ETMS), whose base, the triangular storm duration, D, is established such that its magnitude (area describing the storm history above the reference threshold level which sets the storm condition), HT, equals the real storm magnitude. The other is the Equivalent Triangle Number of Waves Storm (ETNWS), where the base is referred in terms of the real storm's number of waves, Nz. Three approaches are used for estimating the mean period, Tm, associated to each of the sea states defining the storm evolution, which is necessary to determine the full energy flux withstood by the structure in the course of the extreme event. Two are based on the Jonswap spectrum representativity and the other uses the bivariate Gumbel copula (Hs, Tm), resulting from adjusting the storm peaks. The representativity of the approaches proposed and those defined in specialised literature are analysed by comparing the main armour layer's progressive loss of hydraulic stability caused by real storms and that relating to theoretical ones. An empirical maximum energy flux model is used for this purpose. The agreement between the empirical and theoretical results demonstrates that the representativity of the different approaches depends on the storm characteristics and point towards a need to investigate other geometrical shapes to characterise the storm evolution associated with sea states heavily influenced by swell wave components.
... In view of the fact that only peak values are provided in the MEOW, not the full storm surge hydrographs, Cialone et al. (1993) report a procedure for developing the full hydrograph based on maximum surge levels. The full storm surge hydrograph is computed as follows: ...

Bridge scour modeling requires storm surge hydrographs as open ocean boundary conditions for coastal waters surrounding tidal inlets. These open coast storm surge hydrographs are used to accurately determine both horizontal and vertical circulation patterns, and thus scour, within the inlet and bay for an extreme event. At present, very little information is available on the effect that tidal inlets have on these open coast storm surge hydrographs. Furthermore, current modeling practice enforces a single design hydrograph along the open coast boundary for bridge scour models. This study expands on these concepts and provides a more fundamental understanding on both of these modeling areas.

Determination of the appropriate design for protection against bridge pier scour depends significantly upon the design velocities at the project site. In estuaries with large influences by tides or storm surges, the velocity is controlled by the dynamic change in water level. These changes at the ocean boundary together with the upland runoff drive the hydrodynamics of the system. Because the ocean water surface is a function of the characteristics of storm surges, the velocity is likewise similarly affected. Thus, in order to determine the velocity at the proposed project site, a simulation of the hydrodynamics is required using the ocean storm surge as the driving boundary condition. A problem arises, however, in defining an appropriate method to correctly describe the ocean boundary. This paper describes three methods for determining the boundary condition based upon historical and stochastic representations of tropical storms (hurricanes) at the ocean boundary of a particular estuary. Each of the three methods is applied to the Indian River estuary in Delaware. For a simple and conservative approach, the single design hydrograph method yields good results for the Indian River example.
