HYDRAULIC STABILITY OF THE ARMOR LAYER OF OVERTOPPED BREAKWATERS

Hydraulic Stability of the Armor Layer of Overtopped Breakwaters

Mound breakwaters with significant overtopping rates in depth-limited conditions are common in practice due to social concern about the visual impact of coastal structures and sea level rise due to climatic change.For overtopped mound breakwaters, the highest waves pass over the crest producing armor damage, not only to the front slope, but also to

Fire propagation visualization in real time

Our motivation comes from the need of a tailored computational tool for simulation and prediction of forest fire propagation, to be used by firefighters in Patagonia, Argentina.Based on previous works on Graphic Processing Units (GPU) for fitting and simulating fires in our region, we developed a visualization interface for real time computing, sim
