摘要

The article examines the specific features of conducting laboratory experiments aimed at estimating overflow and splash discharge per unit width under the impact of design waves on port hydraulic structures (PHS) in conditions of sea level rise due to global climate change. The analysis of the findings reported in climatological studies enabled us to determine that for ports located in the Arctic and Far Eastern regions of the Russian Federation, sea level rise may exceed one meter by the end of the estimated service life of the facilities under the SSP3-7.0 and SSP5-8.5 socioeconomic scenarios used in the sixth assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).We have developed and tested a new technique for conducting laboratory experiments. It enables a quantitative evaluation of the sea level rise impact on the PHS operating conditions.
