The existence of block deposits at unusual heights can be a clue to past events such as extreme storms +or tsunamis. For instance, \textcite{cox2018} studied coastal deposits on the coast of Ireland in relation to the +storms from winter 2013--2014, and extracted criteria for analysing such deposits. Similarly, \textcite{shah2013} +found boulder deposits on the mediterranean coast to be evidence of extreme storms in the Little Ice Age. + +% Need for analytical equations +In order for those studies to be possible, analytical criterias are needed in order to ascertain the cause of the +displacement of a block. \textcite{nott1997,nott2003} proposed a set of equations that have been widely used for that +purpose. Those equations rely on an equilibrium relation between the lift force produced by a wave and restraining +forces depending on the initial setting of the block, allowing to extract a minimal flow velocity necessary for +movement initiation. A parametrisation of waves depending on their source is also used to provide minimal wave heights +depending on the type of scenario --- wave or tsunami. Those equations were later revised by \textcite{nandasena2011}, +as they were found to be partially incorrect. A revised formulation based on the same considerations was provided. + +The assumptions on which \citeauthor{nott2003, nandasena2011} are based were then critisized by \textcite{weiss2015}. +In fact, according to them, the initiation of movement is not sufficient to guarantee block displacement. +\textcite{weiss2015} highlights the importance of the time dependency on block displacement. A method is proposed that +allows to find the wave amplitude that lead to block displacement. + +% Lack of observations -> observation +Whether it is \textcite{nott2003}, \textcite{nandasena2011} or \textcite{weiss2015}, all the proposed analytical +equations suffer from a major flaw; they are all based on simplified analytical models and statistical analysis. +Unfortunately, no block displacement event seems to have been observed directly in the past. + +In this paper, we study such an event. In february 2017, a 50T concrete block was dropped by a wave on the crest of the +Artha breakwater. Luckily, the event was captured by a photographer, and a wave buoy located 1.2km offshore captured +the seastate. Information from the photographer allowed to establish the approximate time at which the block +displacement occured. The goal of this paper is to model the hydrodynamic conditions near the breakwater that lead to +the displacement of the 50T concrete block. + +% Modeling flow accounting for porous media +Several approaches can be used when modelling flow near a breakwater. + +\section{Results} + +\section{Discussion} + +\section{Methods} +\printbibliography +\end{document}
