Numerical and Experimental Investigation of Wave Overtopping of Barriers [PDF]

open access: yesWater, 2020
We present a study of wave overtopping of barriers. The phenomenon of the wave overtopping over emerged structures is reproduced both numerically and experimentally. The numerical simulations are carried out by a numerical scheme for three-dimensional free-surface flows, which is based on the solution of the Navier–Stokes equations in a novel integral ...

Alluvial ridge morphology on avulsing rivers

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alluvial ridges are built by preferential channel‐belt deposition and control river avulsions, yet a systematic analysis of their morphology has been missing. To address this gap, we analyse a globally distributed dataset of 8970 alluvial ridge flanks on 14 different rivers.

Computational investigation of the relationship between landslide-related conditions and resultant dam overtopping waves

open access: yesEngineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics
The landslide-induced overtopping waves on the dam possesses the potential to release significant energy, presenting a severe hazard to infrastructures and human lives downstream.

Eco-Engineering of Seawalls—An Opportunity for Enhanced Climate Resilience From Increased Topographic Complexity

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
In the context of “green” approaches to coastal engineering, the term “eco-engineering” has emerged in recent years to describe the incorporation of ecological concepts (including artificially water-filled depressions and surface textured tiles on ...

Low‐threshold cutaneous mechanoreceptors on the foot sole have enhanced sensitivity when skin temperature is elevated

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic illustration of microneurography recordings used to examine the effects of local skin heating on cutaneous mechanoreceptor responses in the human foot (left panel). A microelectrode inserted into a peripheral nerve records single‐unit activity from tactile afferent fibres while controlled mechanical stimuli are applied ...

Experimental study on multi-level overtopping wave energy convertor under regular wave conditions

open access: yesInternational Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, 2018
A multi-level overtopping wave energy converter was designed according to the large tidal range and small wave heights in China. It consists of two reservoirs with sloping walls at different levels.

An Experimental Study of Wave Overtopping Characteristics on the Structure for Wave Overtopping Power Generating System

open access: yesJournal of Korean navigation and port research, 2006
Waves progressing into the coastal area can be amplified, swashed and overtopped by a wave overtopping control structure, and it converts the kinetic energy of the waves to the potential energy with a hydraulic head above the mean sea level by conserving the overflow in a reservoir.

Maturation of River‐Dominated Delta Tops: The Channelized Delta Model

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract We present a novel, laterally averaged model of delta growth, the channelized delta model, in which delta top dynamics are described in terms of channelized (lumped channel) and non‐channelized areas. The maturation level of the lumped channel is defined by a shape factor that dictates flow partitioning between channelized and non‐channelized ...

Reduction of Wave Overtopping and Force Impact at Harbor Quays Due to Very Oblique Waves

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
Physical model experiments were conducted in a wave tank at Flanders Hydraulics Research, Antwerp, Belgium, to characterize the wave overtopping and impact force on vertical quay walls and sloping sea dike (1:2.5) under very oblique wave attack (angle ...
