Tsunami generation by paddle motion and its interaction with a beach: Lagrangian modelling and experiment [PDF]
, 2013 A 2D Lagrangian numerical wave model is presented and validated against a set of physical wave-flume experiments on interaction of tsunami waves with a sloping beach. An iterative methodology is proposed and applied for experimental generation of tsunami-

Riprap incipient motion for overtopping flows with machine learning models
, 2020 Riprap stones are frequently applied to protect rivers and channels against erosion processes. Many empirical equations have been proposed in the past to estimate the unit discharge at the failure circumstance of riprap layers.

Community acceptance of nature‐based solutions for coastal flood risk management
People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 21-36, January 2026.Abstract Coastal areas are increasingly vulnerable to climate change impacts, such as rising sea levels and more frequent storm events, necessitating urgent adaptation strategies. Various adaptation approaches exist, including hard engineering solutions and nature‐based solutions, but whether these strategies are implemented often depends on social ...

Dam Submergence Flows: An Environmental Flow Prescription Designed to Aid Migratory Fish Passage
River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 1, Page 19-29, January 2026.ABSTRACT As part of a holistic ecosystem‐focused set of unified flow prescriptions, natural spring flood events were enhanced with releases from an upstream reservoir on the Cape Fear River in North Carolina (USA) to submerge a series of low‐use, low‐head lock‐and‐dam structures for anadromous fish to move upstream.

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020 The wave overtopping discharge at coastal defense structures is directly linked to the freeboard height. By means of physical modelling, experiments on wave overtopping volumes at sloped coastal structures are customarily determined for constant water ...

Modelling of the bending behaviour of double floor systems for different contact surfaces [PDF]
Constructii: Journal of Civil Engineering Research, 2014 In the practice of prefabricated concrete structures considerable surfaces of intermediate floors are constructed using double floor systems with prefabricated bottom layer and upper layer. This second layer is cast on site.

Water and erosion damage to coastal structures: South Carolina Coast, Hurricane Hugo, 1989 [PDF]
, 1990 Hurricane Hugo hit U.S. Mainland on September 21, 1989 just north of Charleston, South Carolina. It was billed as the most costly hurricane on record.

Water waves overtopping over barriers [PDF]
, 2019 A numerical and experimental analysis of the wave overtopping over emerged and submerged structures, is presented. An original model is used in order to simulate three-dimensional free surface flows.
