Abstract

<p> Numerical analyses of 1/55.8-scale small experiments and 1/4-scale large experiments on sand erosion under the rubble mound of a composite breakwater were conducted to investigate the effect of wave field on the time scale of the erosion. Numerical results showed that the time for the averaged flow inside the mound to be offshore throughout the mound and the time for the wave field around the breakwater to be equilibrium were longer in the small-scale experiments than in the large-scale experiments, and consequently the erosion observed in the large-scale experiments was underestimated in the small-scale experiments. This suggested that the time for the erosion to reach the same depth as that of the large-scale experiments was longer than that estimated according to the Froude similarity law.</p>
