Influence of convex and concave curvatures in a coastal dike line on wave run-up [PDF]
, 2019 Due to climatic change and the increased usage of coastal areas, there is an increasing risk of dike failures along the coasts worldwide. Wave run-up plays a key role in the planning and design of a coastal structure.

Some mathematics for splashes: sea-wave impact on coastal structures [PDF]
, 2016 Structures built on the sea shore, such as harbour walls and breakwaters, are prone to damage by breaking waves. Such structures often need costly repairs especially after winter storms. The consulting company H.R.

THE EFFECT OF WIND STRESS ON WAVE OVERTOPPING ON VERTICAL SEAWALL
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2023 Onshore wind can significantly affect wave overtopping process and increase mean overtopping discharge. Thus, the wind should be an important variable in coastal design process. However, despite many researches have analyzed the influence of wind on the overtopping, there is still a lack of exhaustive knowledge about this phenomenon. To further analyze
