New insights in the probability distributions of wave-by-wave overtopping volumes at vertical breakwaters [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Advances in the development of prediction tools for wave overtopping allow now for overtopping volumes to be estimated with good accuracy, with the combined use of mean overtopping rates and maximum wave by wave overtopping volumes in a sequence of wave ...

Characterization of Overtopping Waves on Sea Dikes with Gentle and Shallow Foreshores
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020 Due to ongoing climate change, overtopping risk is increasing. In order to have effective countermeasures, it is useful to understand overtopping processes in details.

Overtopping layer thickness and overtopping flow velocity on mound breakwaters [PDF]
Coastal Engineering, 2019 [EN] Mound breakwater design is evolving owing to rising sea levels caused by climate change and social concern regarding the visual impact of coastal structures. The crest freeboard of coastal structures tends to decrease while overtopping hazard increases over time.

A comprehensive dataset of riverine levee overtopping events for advancing risk assessment [PDF]
Scientific DataEarthen levees are the primary flood protection infrastructure worldwide, with overtopping recognized as the most prevalent mode of their failure. Despite its significance, detailed field data on overtopping events are often limited and fragmented.

Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid MechanicsOvertopping wave energy converters (OWECs) are designed to capture the energy from wave overtopping and transform it into clean and renewable electricity. The present paper numerically investigates irregular wave overtopping on a simplified 2-dimensional

ProcessesOver the past three decades, the development and testing of various overtopping wave energy converters (OWECs) have highlighted the importance of accurate wave run-up and overtopping predictions on those devices. This study systematically reviews the empirical formulas traditionally used for predicting overtopping across different types of breakwaters ...

SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF OVERTOPPING [PDF]
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2012 The scope of this research is to find an empirical formula to describe the distribution of wave overtopping in the region behind the crest. A physical model was set up in which irregular waves were generated. In order to find a formula which adequately describes the test observations, the influence of several parameters has been analysed.

Remote Sensing of Wave Overtopping on Dynamic Coastal Structures
Remote Sensing, 2022 The development of coastal regions combined with rising sea levels is leading to an increasing risk of coastal flooding caused by wave overtopping of natural beaches and engineered coastal structures.
