Impulse Waves in Reservoirs: Research Up to 1990
Impulse waves constitute an important issue in dam engineering. These waves are usually generated by subaerial disturbances in a water body, such as a reservoir. The resulting waves can reach maximum heights of over 100 m, and run-up heights of up to 500 m. The infrastructure retaining the water body can be destroyed by either wave run-up or wave overtopping. This review describes the developments in the understanding and the protection measures relating to impulse waves, beginning with the experiments following the first nuclear tests at the Bikini Atoll in 1946. Both experimental and numerical findings are highlighted along with typical photos describing the particular wave features until 1990. In parallel, this paper presents the primary researchers who have made an outstanding contribution to this field of hydraulics. It is concluded that these complex hydraulic problems can only be successfully solved with a hybrid approach, combining experimental and numerical data.
