Wave Transmission by Overtopping
Journal of the Waterways, Harbors and Coastal Engineering Division, 1972 This report presents a semi-empirical theory for ocean wave transmission past breakwaters by overtopping, based on an evaluation of the energy content of the overtopping water. While several coefficients are subject to further investigation, the data show that the general form of the equations developed is correct.

Single Slope Shore Protection as a Wave Energy Catcher
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018 Wave energy is being increasingly regarded in many countries as a major, promising and renewable resource. This paper presents the development of slope coastal protection as a wave energy converter by capturing sea water into the reservoir through ...

Experimental study on scour and erosion of blocked dam
Water Science and Engineering, 2012 This paper presents new experimental data of the erosion rate and sediment transport rate during the processes of dam break caused by overtopping. In order to study the headcut migration, the erosion coefficient was calculated and its peak value was ...

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020 The average overtopping discharge is an important parameter for the design and reinforcement of dikes. Rock armour on the waterside slopes and berms of dikes is widely used to reduce the wave overtopping discharge by introducing slope roughness and ...

Laboratory design-studies of the effect of waves on a proposed island site for a combined nuclear power and desalting plant [PDF]
, 1966 There were four major objectives to this investigation: 1) the determination of the degree of stability of the island face when constructed of armor units of various weights; 2) the run-up for a two-dimensional wave system impinging on the island face; 3)

A Lithospheric Drip Triggered Green and Colorado River Integration
Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract The integration of the Green and Colorado Rivers shifted the continental drainage divide of North America, marking a key event in the hydrological and biogeographical evolution of the continent. Sedimentological and stratigraphic evidence shows that for integration to occur, the Green River likely cut through the Uinta Mountains between 8 and ...

Irregular Wave Overtopping Rates
Coastal Engineering 1984, 1984 Methods for estimating wave overtopping of coastal structures are reviewed and compared with the very limited available data and with each other. The different methods yield results which can vary more than an order-of-magnitude. For vertical seawalls, the U. S.
