Cost-Effective Optimization of an Array of Wave Energy Converters in Front of a Vertical Seawall
Energies, 2023 The present paper focuses on investigating the cost-effective configuration of an array of wave energy converters (WECs) composed of vertical cylinders situated in front of a vertical seawall in irregular waves.

Breaking wave loads at vertical seawalls and breakwaters [PDF]
Coastal Engineering, 2010 This paper presents recent advances in knowledge on wave loads, based on experimental work carried out in the CIEM/LIM large flume at Barcelona within the framework of the VOWS (Violent Overtopping by Waves at Seawalls) project. Both quasi-static and impact wave forces from the new data set have been compared with predictions by empirical and ...

Unstructured Finite-Volume Model of Sediment Scouring Due to Wave Impact on Vertical Seawalls
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 The numerical modeling of sediment transport under wave impact is challenging because of the complex nature of the triple wave–structure–sediment interaction.

Investigation on the Reflection Coefficient for Seawalls Protected by a Rubble Mound Structure
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 Sea wave reflection from coastal protection structures is one of the main issues in the coastal design process. Several empirical formulas have been proposed so far to predict reflection coefficient from rubble mound breakwaters and smooth slopes.

An overtopping formula for shallow water vertical seawalls by SWASH
Applied Ocean Research, 2023 There is now wide evidence that phase -resolving numerical models can capture the general physics of the overtopping process even under complex hydrodynamics. Based on this outcome, an extensive parametric study has been carried out with the model SWASH, to develop a design formula that uniformly predicts the overtopping rate at vertical seawalls for ...

SCOURING ON BOULDER BED BEHIND A SEAWALL DUE TO TSUNAMI [PDF]
Science of Tsunami Hazards, 2020 Based on post-tsunami surveys following the Japan Tsunami 2011, the most prominent seawall damage was due to scours that was formed behind the seawall.

Field observations of seabed scour dynamics in front of a seawall during winter gales
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Seawalls are vital for protecting coastal areas. However, the seabed in front of seawalls may undergo severe scouring. This can result in destabilization of the seawall structure, the underlying mechanisms of which remains unclear.

Effects of a Vertical Seawall on Profile Response
Coastal Engineering 1988, 1988 An attempt is made to determine beach profile response due to the presence of a vertical seawall placed in various cross-shore positions, and to examine the differences between natural beaches and seawall-backed beaches in response to normally incident wave attack.
