Analytical Approach on Wave Overtopping on Levees

open access: yesCoastal Engineering 1970, 1970
An analytical approach to evaluate the amount of overtopping for given conditions is studied in this paper Here, the wave overtopping is considered as a similar phenomenon to the flow over a weir changing the depth with respect to time The theoretical approaches used by many scholars have been mostly based on the dimensional analysis In this paper ...

Numerical Study of Wave Overtopping Based on Local Method of Approximate Particular Solution Method

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2014
In order to study the wave overtopping process, this paper establishes a two-dimensional numerical wave flume based on a meshless algorithm, local method of approximate particular solution (the LMAPS method), and the technology of momentum source wave ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Water and erosion damage to coastal structures: South Carolina Coast, Hurricane Hugo, 1989 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
Hurricane Hugo hit U.S. Mainland on September 21, 1989 just north of Charleston, South Carolina. It was billed as the most costly hurricane on record.

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.
