Kawai et al. (2017) and Arikawa et al. (2019) found that it is effective not only for swell waves, but also for long-period waves simulating tsunamis and storm surges by previous experiments and numerical analyses. However, there have been few studies on the performance of VTB by numerical calculations in actual ports using actual typhoons. In addition, sea levels and changes in characteristics of typhoon due to climate change are predicted to occur; hence, we are concerned about the damage in all quarters caused by storm surge inundation, especially at Tokyo. Therefore, in this study, we used hypothetical typhoons under worst-case scenarios and quantitatively evaluated the protection performance of VTB against hypothetical typhoons with different aperture rates of VTB in Tokyo Bay by the numerical simulation.<br><br><b>Recorded Presentation from the vICCE (YouTube Link): <a href="https://youtu.be/qof5ixKqIiA">https://youtu.be/qof5ixKqIiA</a></b></html>}, number={36v}, journal={Coastal Engineering Proceedings}, author={Harada, Yako and Matsumoto, Yukihisa and Morishita, Kazuho and Oonishi, Nobuyuki and Kihara, Kazuyoshi and Watanabe, Masashi and Arikawa, Taro}, year={2020}, month={Dec.}, pages={structures.35} }
