THE WAVE OVERTOPPING SIMULATOR [PDF]

Coastal Engineering 2006, 2007
The wave overtopping simulator is a device which will be able to simulate overtopping waves at the crest and at the inner slope of a dike, levee or embankment in situ. The idea is that real waves are not required to simulate only the overtopping part of waves and that enough information on overtopping waves has been developed by years of research, to ...

Physical Modelling of the Effect on the Wave Field of the WaveCat Wave Energy Converter

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
The WaveCat is a moored Wave Energy Converter design which uses wave overtopping discharge into a variable v-shaped hull, to generate electricity through low head turbines.

Laboratory Experiments on the Influence of the Wave Spectrum Enhancement Factor on a Rubble Mound Breakwater

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
This paper experimentally explored the influence of the wave spectrum shape variation on breakwater design. The energy spectrum function generally considered for the design of coastal structures is the JONSWAP spectrum.

Spatial and Temporal Variation in Wave Overtopping Across a Coastal Structure Based on One Year of Field Observations

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Coastal managers worldwide must prepare for changes in annual wave overtopping events due to climate change and sea-level rise. Research often assesses overtopping discharges by extreme events at a sea wall crest, typically using data from physical ...

Centrifugal model tests and numerical modeling on overtopping-induced breach processes of landslide dams

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
This study used the 400 g-ton geotechnical centrifuge model test system at the Nanjing Hydraulic Research Institute (NHRI) to investigate the breach evolution characteristics and hydrograph process of overtopping-induced breaching of landslide dams.

Parametric Design and Numerical Investigation of Hydrodynamic Characteristics of a New Type of Armour Block TB-CUBE Based on SPH Method

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
Based on the open-source code DualSPHysics, a numerical model was conducted to simulate the regular wave transformation on the slope breakwater with artificial block, and the simulation results were verified according to the measured data from the ...

Uncertainty Analysis and Overtopping Risk Evaluation of Maroon Dam withMonte Carlo and Latin Hypercube Methods

مجله آب و خاک, 2016
Introduction: The greatest part of constructed dams belongs to embankment dams and there are many examples of their failures throughout history. About one-third of the world’s dam failures have been caused by flood overtopping, which indicates that flood

Role of Beach Morphology in Wave Overtopping Hazard Assessment

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2017
Understanding the role of beach morphology in controlling wave overtopping volume will further minimise uncertainties in flood risk assessments at coastal locations defended by engineered structures worldwide.

DESIGN OF AN OVERTOPPING BREAKWATER

Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1980
The Maritime Services Board of New South Wales, Australia, is constructing a major new port facility on the northern foreshores of Botany Bay. A principal part of this project has been the construction of a large armoured revetment from the northern shores. The entrance to Botany Bay faces southeast and it is from this direction that a large proportion
