SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:AIM Seminar: Hydraulic structures and flood risk - applying fundamental equations for fluid and solid mechanics to reduce damage during storms and aid the energy transition
DESCRIPTION:Fluid and structural mechanics are the basis of understanding weather-related hazards\, as well as designing infrastructure to protect people and property from these hazards. After presenting the equatlions governing stability of floodwalls and breakwaters subject to hydraulic forces\, I introduce a case study of the 2011 Japan tsunami's impact on a bridge deck that failed. Next\, I show the equations used to simulate tsunamis and storm surge\, and apply these to a study of flooding in Florida due to Hurricane Irma in 2017. Finally\, I introduce the hydropower equation and apply it to an investigation of Michigan's potential for expanding pumped hydro energy storage to aid the renewable energy transition.\n\n[Contact:  S.
