Performative Coastal Textures: Integrating Computational and Physical Simulations for Seawall Design

The research examines the potential of surface texture to increase the experiential and ecological performance of coastal defence structures such as seawalls. It develops a method for utilizing physical and Computational Fluid Dynamic simulation tools to creatively design the interaction of sea waves with coastal structures. The experimental setup tests simplified textured surfaces in a physical wave flume, to develop a basic understanding of the parameters that shape texture-induced fluid motion. The test results are used to calibrate and validate a digital wave flume, with the aim of facilitating research into texture design in coastal environments.
