Risk assessment of Vaniyar earth dam overtopping using system dynamics and effect of overtopping flood on the downstream lands of the dam. [PDF]
Objective: Dams play a key role in controlling floods and minimizing associated losses. They reduce downstream losses by lowering the flood peak and enable a safer flood stream.

Development of Wave Overtopping–Overflow Transition Model Based on Full-scale Experiments
When high waves and storm surge strike simultaneously, the characteristics of the fluid field change drastically from overtopping according to the wave runup height to overflow through a transition state that combines overtopping and overflows.

Risk of cascade reservoirs collapse based on Bayesian network
This paper evaluated the risk of reservoirs collapse caused by nature-flood-based dam overtopping using a Bayesian network. Probabilities of single and cascade reservoirs collapse were calculated for reservoirs in Sichuan Province.
