Storm surge and tsunami mitigation by generation of offshore Taylor columns
Offshore apparatus generating artificial Taylor columns for the purpose on interfering with oncoming storm surge and/or tsunamis. A series of solid bodies are anchored relative to the ocean floor to provide structures capable of generating Taylor columns in response to water flow and/or currents. The strategic placement of a series of cylindrical bodies creates a corresponding series of Taylor columns in response to hydrodynamic flow, such as current flow or tsunami related flow. The presence of a series of strategically located Taylor columns is intended to inhibit or disrupt the devastating effects of storm surge and/or tsunamis.
