Computational Study of Overtopping Phenomenon over Cylindrical Structures Including Mitigation Structures

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Wave overtopping occurring in offshore wind renewable energy structures such as tension leg platforms (TLPs) or semi-submersible platforms is a phenomenon that is worth studying and preventing in order to extend the remaining useful life of the ...

Systematic Evaluation and Correction of Extreme Water Level in Global Storm Surge Simulation

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 6, 28 March 2026.
Abstract Extreme sea levels resulting from storm surges are a major contributor to coastal flood risk and are often assessed using outputs from global storm surge models. However, these models exhibit systematic errors, particularly in data‐sparse regions. Here, we present a novel framework to improve simulated extreme water levels.

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.

Characterizing Landslide‐Induced Floods Using the SWOT Mission: A Case Study on the Chilcotin River, Canada

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract Monitoring small rivers during extreme events is challenging, especially in remote areas. This study assesses the accuracy of the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission in characterizing an extreme hydrological event on a narrow river (∼60 m wide), using a landslide‐induced flood on the Chilcotin River (Canada) as a case study.

Optimizing a Novel eDNA‐Based Framework for Reef Fish Biodiversity Monitoring Using an Autonomous Filtration System and in situ Nanopore Sequencing

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study presents a comprehensive eDNA metabarcoding protocol optimized for monitoring fish biodiversity in coral reefs and other remote marine environments. By combining an autonomous underwater filtration system, Oxford Nanopore sequencing, and a 12S reference database specifically developed for French Polynesia, the method enables efficient and ...

Probability Analysis of Overtopping During Construction Period of Dam Based on Improved Interval Non-Probabilistic Reliability

Applied Sciences
Probabilistic analysis of overtopping is an important aspect of dam construction, and the uncertainty in the construction progress complicates the calculation of overtopping probabilities.

Experimental study on multi-level overtopping wave energy convertor under regular wave conditions

International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, 2018
A multi-level overtopping wave energy converter was designed according to the large tidal range and small wave heights in China. It consists of two reservoirs with sloping walls at different levels.

Expected Discharge of Irregular Wave Overtopping

Coastal Engineering 1968, 1968
An experiment was carried out on the overtopping of mechanically generated irregular waves over vertical walls. The experimental discharge was almost in agreement with the expected discharge which had been calculated with the wave height histogram and the data of regular wave overtopping based on the principle of linear summation.

Landscape Changes in the Kitchener Avalanche Path, Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park After the Record‐Breaking July 2022 Storm

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.
Three‐dimensional landscape changes were investigated in the Kitchener Avalanche Path, Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park, New Zealand, after an extreme storm in July 2022. The Path features an earthen diversion berm constructed in 2018 to mitigate the risk of avalanches to the adjacent Aoraki/Mount Cook Village.

Spatiotemporal numerical modeling of wave overtopping flow over dike crests and landward slopes

Applied Ocean Research
Wave overtopping can cause severe erosion on the crest and landward slope of a dike. Accurate erosion prediction requires resolving the spatiotemporal evolution of overtopping flow, which remains insufficiently understood.
