Clarification of soil scour and seepage flow by using a particle method

In 2011, Tohoku-Kanto earthquake tsunami caused serious damage to the port structures such as a breakwater and seawalls. Damage mechanisms of these structures have been studied in the past, and there are some causes. In this study, Soil scour and seepage flow are focused on. A particle simulation tool based on a stabilized ISPH method [1] has been extended to solve the different soil damage mechanisms; soil sour and seepage flow problem at the same time
