Wave overtopping and toe scouring at a plain vertical seawall with shingle foreshore : a physical model study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
This paper describes a physical model study to investigate the wave overtopping and toe scouring at a plain vertical wall with a shingle foreshore. A matrix of 180 experimental test conditions were performed in a 2D wave flume, with an approximate scale ...

Prediction of Mean Overtopping Discharge at Vertical Seawalls Using MLR and GLM Statistical Approaches

open access: yesInternational Journal of Maritime Technology, 2015
Wave overtopping at breakwaters is one of their essential hydraulic characteristics when determining the design crest level. This study concentrates on developing a new practical formula on predicting wave overtopping, by implementing two different ...

Numerical study on regular wave overtopping flows over sea dike [PDF]

open access: yes
Based on the filtered Navier-Stokes equations and Smagorinsky turbulence model, a numerical wave flume is developed to investigate regular wave overtopping flow over trapezoidal smooth impermeable sea dike.

Overtopping Wave Detection based on Wave Contour Measurement

open access: yesIEEJ Transactions on Electronics, Information and Systems, 2007
The overtopping wave which is high wave exceeding breakwaters causes damage to a coast area. In this paper, we describe a novel detection method of the overtopping wave and other high wave from a video sequence of a coastal camera. This detection is performed directly by measuring wave contour in each image using Active Contour Models and by tracking ...

Reducing Wave Overtopping on Rubble Mound Breakwaters Using Floating Kelp Farms

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
Near-surface floating kelp farms constitute a Nature-Based Solution (NBS) capable of damping incident wind-generated waves, which might be beneficial to reduce wave overtopping on maritime structures.

Multiscale Numerical Modeling of Wave Overtopping for Pedestrian Hazard Classification and Risk Assessment

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
The risk of wave overtopping is amplifying under sea-level rise and increased frequency of extreme coastal events. Conventional empirical and physical methods for estimating overtopping characteristics are limited by site-specific assumptions, which ...

Experimental investigation of a novel adjustable-slope onshore overtopping wave energy converter for coastal protection and energy generation

open access: yesEnergy Conversion and Management: X
Wave Energy Converters (WECs) are increasingly being proposed for hybrid coastal infrastructure, offering both renewable energy generation and coastal protection to reduce the high Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCoE) associated with wave energy. Onshore

Comparative study on wave overtopping reduction performance on a novel dike-front wave dissipation basin and other engineering measures

open access: yesApplied Ocean Research
A dike-front Wave Dissipation Basin (WDB) is proposed as an engineering measure to reduce wave overtopping discharge over sea dikes. Flume tests are conducted to quantify the overtopping reduction effectiveness of the WDB and to compare it with other ...

Climate change vulnerability and adaptation assessment for Fiji [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
All nations, including Fiji, that are signatories to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change(UNFCCC) are obliged to provide National Communications to the Conference of Parties (COP) of the UNFCCC. The COP4 stressed the need for parties
