Experimental measurement of focused wave group and solitary wave overtopping [PDF]

, 2011
Prediction of individual wave overtopping events is important in assessing danger to life and property, but data are sparse and hydrodynamic understanding is lacking.

When Rain Meets Surge: Assessing Future Typhoon‐Driven Compound Flood Hazard Profiles in a Rapidly Urbanizing Delta

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract Typhoon‐induced Compound Flood (TCF), driven by the combined impact of extreme rainfall and increasing coastal water level (CWL), poses a substantial threat to urban safety. This study presents a framework for assessing the future compound flood hazard profiles in a coastal megacity in the Delta region of southern China.

A METHODOLOGY FOR MEASURING THE VELOCITY AND THICKNESS OF WAVE-INDUCED UP-RUSHING JETS ON VERTICAL SEAWALLS AND SUPERSTRUCTURE

, 2014
Waves breaking on vertical seawalls result in up-rushing water jets with high velocities, which in turn lead to large overtopping rates and pose a serious threat to pedestrians, vehicles or any infrastructure in the vicinity of the seawall. Nevertheless,

A Case Study of the Behaviour of a Vertical Seawall

Soils and Foundations, 2001
Reclamation is a major construction activity in Singapore, and this often entails the construction of a vertical seawall to contain the reclamation. In Singapore a frequently used technique is the use of L-Blocks. However, there are concerns about the movement and tilt of such relatively light blocks.

Behaviour of Temperate Reef Fish Species Around Oyster Aquaculture Farms and Natural Rock Reefs

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Cultivation of eastern oysters using aquaculture gear increases habitat for temperate reef fish. Cunner (Tautogolabrus adspersus), scup (Stenotomus chrysops) and tautog (Tautoga onitis) inhabit a variety of complex natural and manmade habitats, including oyster aquaculture cage farms.

Tsunami Casualty Risk Assessment Integrating Evacuation Tower Placement, Seismic Road Network Performance Enhancement, and Disaster Education

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 500-520, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Since the 2011 Great East Japan earthquake, tsunami evacuation towers have been constructed in coastal regions based on worst‐case predictions to provide additional safety margins against unprecedented tsunamis. However, the extent to which such assumptions effectively reduce casualty risk remains unclear.

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 ...

Comparative study on breaking wave forces on vertical walls with cantilever surfaces [PDF]

, 2010
Physical experiments (at a scale of 1/20) are carried out using two different models: a vertical wall with cantilevering slab and a simple vertical wall. Tests are conducted for a range of values of water depth, wave period and wave height.

Analysis of Climate Change Effects on Seawall Reliability [PDF]

, 2015
Crown heights of seawalls should be designed to suppress overtopping discharge to a permissible level. The permissible level is determined from viewpoints of the structure types of coastal seawalls and hinterland use.
