"An Experimental Study on Wave Interaction with Vertical Slotted Breakwater"

Presented in the 7th International Conference on Water and Flood Management, 2019, Dhaka, Bangladesh

  • Breakwaters are widely used for ensuring safe harbor. Traditional solid breakwater causes sedimentation on the landside, thus degrade the navigational draft of harbor. In this study hydraulic performance of perforated breakwater was examined.
  • Reduction in wave energy was determined experimentally for 2 types of setup: single wall and double wall vertical slotted breakwater, with different wave periods and relative submergence of breakwater.
  • Based on the experiment, the double wall model with 1.2 relative submergence performed best with a 0.902 energy loss coefficient and 57.89% wave height reduction.

"Effect of Road Network on the Flood Intensity of Haor Basin in Bangladesh and possible solution"

Inundation Map of Trial Model
Schematic Diagram of Model Development
  • The north-eastern haor basin of Bangladesh is exposed to flash floods during pre-monsoon and monsoon seasons almost every year. In the monsoon period, the flood water flows over the floodplain, but the construction of more and more high-elevation roads here hinders the natural hydraulic connectivity.
  • In this study, for a selected river system of the Haor basin, the flood condition will be assessed for existing and natural conditions using the HEC RAS 2D hydrodynamic model.
  • Then flow area requirements for the roads in the floodplain will be proposed to improve the flood condition within the study area.
