Hydrodynamic studies on vertical seawall defenced by low-crested breakwater

Ocean Engineering, 2005
This paper presents results obtained from a series of experiments conducted in wave flume to assess the influence of the offshore low-crested breakwater as a defence structure in reducing the wave forces on vertical seawall. The main aim of the tests was to know the effect of crest elevation of the offshore low-crested breakwater as a rehabilitation ...

Wave overtopping at a vertical seawall by Boussinesq modeling

2022
Numerical models may represent a useful tool to estimate wave overtopping discharge. However, so far there is still little available literature on numerical modeling, especially on Boussinesq modeling. The paper analyses the ability of a BTM, Celeris, to predict wave overtopping at a vertical seawall with shallow foreshore, comparing numerical outcomes

WAVE OVERTOPPING AT VERTICAL SEAWALLS: FIELD AND LABORATORY MEASUREMENTS OF SPATIAL DISTRIBUTIONS

Coastal Engineering 2006, 2007
Guidance on levels of safe overtopping discharge that can be tolerated by members of the public are often based on arbitrarily set values with little validation. Generally these values will indicate a mean discharge, but will not take into account how the overtopping is distributed across the seawall.

COMPARISON OF PRESSURES DUE TO RANDOM WAVES ON VERTICAL AND CURVED SEAWALLS

ISH Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, 2010
ABSTRACT The design of an efficient seawall should be such that the overtopping is minimized even during coastal flooding and extreme events by maintaining its crest elevation as low as possible. It is believed that this could partially be achieved by taming the waves back to towards the ocean, however, not by reflection as in the case of a vertical ...

Lagrangian Particle Method for Simulation of Wave Overtopping on a Vertical Seawall

Coastal Engineering Journal, 2005
A particle method, or a gridless Lagrangian method, shows the high performance in describing the complicated behavior of water surface with the fragmentation and coalescence of water.

Enhancing alpha and beta diversity on vertical seawalls by retrofitting eco-engineered panels

Marine Pollution Bulletin
The effect of surface heterogeneity of manmade substrate on alpha diversity of intertidal epibiota is well-studied, but its influence on beta diversity remains largely unexplored. Herein, two designs of eco-engineered panels were retrofitted onto existing vertical seawalls in three regions of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, China, and were ...

Random wave interaction with vertical seawalls defended by porous submerged breakwaters

Physics of Fluids
Rising sea levels and intensified storm waves due to climate change may increase the wave loading and overtopping on vertical seawalls, potentially causing damage or coastal flooding. Porous submerged breakwaters are being used to retrofit these existing seawalls, protecting them from increased wave action.

An expert system for the design of gravity-type vertical seawalls

Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence, 1992
Abstract It is feasible to develop expert systems for complicated design processes in the field of harbour and port engineering. This paper presents how knowledge about the design of a gravity-type vertical seawall can be represented in a manner appropriate for the new computing technology of expert systems, resulting in a computer program which can ...
