The physics aren't that bad. What a lot of people don't seem to understand is that the water has an extreme amount of momentum. The water pushing up over his obstacles, even the curved ones, is realistic. The water behind it is still pushing forward. Trying to deflect the wave doesn't work because all of the water not in contact with the wall is still trying to move forward, leaving the deflecting water nowhere to go but up again.

How those power plants work: Basically the sun heats up the area bellow the mirrors, the hot air is lighter and tries to escape. It can only escape through the pipe in the center. In this pipe are wind turbines.

He should've made them longer. The V shape stuff, the walls should have been longer to avoid the water flooding, or at least to reduce the volume.

It made me crave a first person game where you randomly wake up as one citizen of a town about to be hit by a giant tsunami and you need to survive.

I know a civil engineer is sort of the opposite of a military engineer, but I'd love to see a video of you doing this using the principles of a Vauban defense star. I once helped some friends making a sand castle and realized we'd started at low tide where it'd go under water so spent the next several hours with a shovel making a 3 ring 9 point star that got roughly 10 meters across and 1 meter peak to trough. The castle was eventually taken but it lasted about 2 hours past when the tide would have taken it, which i thought was pretty good, so I thought you might like to have a go

I think in this game water physics are quite "linear" A series of walls will work pretty much exactly the same as a bunch of bumps, though bumps let the water drain after When presented with a perpendicular wall, a tsunami will act ignoring momentum from the middle hitting the splitter

2:29 Person in the city: 'Those aren't mountains...'

I'm pretty sure there's no friction in this game's engine, that's why water doesn't slow down when it moves through flat land. The 45° wall actually should work better then just a straight one, but there's no friction so water slow down because it transfers kinetic energy into potential energy, but the overall energy in the whole wave is still the same, so when water finally is able to get through the wall it changes the potential energy into kinetic. Of course some of the water isn't able to get through, because it's kinetic energy is too small. It's probably water which is behind the extremum of the wave because there's less water giving it kickback energy (it's not pushed by anything) that's why only half of the water get's through when the wall is the size of the wave. Normally some of the energy would go into soil, packing it tighter, heating it, even into the sound the crashes make etc. and some water would sap into it earth, so the waves wight would get smaller and smaller, so overall energy in the wave system would decrease and another systems would gain same amount of energy.

CHALLENGE: Stop the Tsunami in the sea BEFORE it gets to land.

"Just build these under the road like we do in real life" Oh we know Matt, we know when our roads are dug up for every utility company 5 times a year.

"A lot" of electricity is a matter of perspective. Demand at once? Yes...a lot! Overall demand, start to finish of a tsunami? Not all that much. The key might be in trying two things: An emergency energy storage pack that stays a maximum charge to be released as supplemental power AND.... The wave...is pretty powerful! We have the ability to capture normal tidal wave energy so it seems logical we could develop tech to capture this...using the energy of the wave against it?!?

It looks like the game uses a simple friction-less and turbulence-less model for water. So the only thing that matters is the height of the dam (which should be high enough to be able to contain all the water wave's kinetic energy in potential energy (when the water goes up at the dam)).

Man I got to say this sea fighting series is amazing! I love watching the methods you use. Engineers will always win!

Watching these videos and coming from the previous video I was thinking of deflection too. I thought about a large ship with the bulb below water / at the bottom to break ahead and deflect it up to the main hull where it gets split. I'm going to install the game and try it myself.

I've been loving this series, it's really cool to learn about actual civil engineering!

Your mitigation technique depend on CS modelling fluid dynamics somewhat correctly and since water in CS acts like liquid jello it does not.

I remember watching a video demonstration wave reduction and pure vertical wall is one of the worst options due to the wave crashing, going up, and the forward momentum carrying a lot of spillage over top the wall. The 45 was better due to the under wave crashing earlier and lowering the momentum of the total wave. The best, as you mentioned, was the c wall. However I’d like to have seen a Dong shaped retaining wall… And I can only trust one man for the job. You up for it?

"it was designed by an architect, it doesn't take the most direct route" queue up the infra space reel

The anarchy mod brought me an idea of doing those canals extremely close to each other so that they are actually overlapping which means that 1 m³ of space where there are 2 canals will actually hold 2 cubic metres of water.

The ending shows that if you'd only put the flood barrier further from the city, it'd have been pretty much dry

10:46 The bar: Build shelters If a disaster hits your city, your citizens can go to shelters

In this game, the counter-physically-intuitive method that is a wall straight up is the best solution, because water in this game only has 2 properties: height over ground and speed over ground. Water goes from higher to lower, speeding up, and slow water next to fast water tend to level their speed. But "friction" with riverbeds etc. is not really a thing as you can see at 2:14 - the water at the riverbanks should be slower but it really isn't or if any then just barely at all. Therefore, the best way to deflect a wave is a steep wall because that will decelerate the most and introduce a backwards current.

I think what might have helped even more is some of those large pool style ditches on the sides to take on some of the water coming in from the sides behind the city... that said, very nice Matt! 👍

From the way it works, it would probably be best to just make a series of tall walls. Like, if you noticed how the Tsunami was reduced in height by half in the second wall (Which I think you used as your height limit), then if you just added a second wall it would probably absorb the rest. And since stress isn't an issue, there's no reason that each wall can't be incredibly thin.
