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

Simulating structural response to water impact [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Structural response to water impact is important for several areas, including the aerospace and marine industries. Aircraft must be designed to cope with ditching and offshore structures are subject to extreme wave impact and green water loading.

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 ...

Relations Between the Run-Up and Overtopping of Waves

open access: yesCoastal Engineering 1972, 1972
The quantitative relationships among run-up, overtopping and reflection of waves are presented in this paper. In addition, the authors have proposed several empirical relationships to calculate the height of wave run-up and the quantity of wave overtopping in the region of standing waves.

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.

The comparison of empirical formulae for the prediction of mean wave overtopping rate at armored sloped structures

open access: yes, 2020
Armored sloped structures are generally used to provide the safety of their lee side, i. e. harbours and coastal regions against wave attacks and storm surge. Recently, due to the potential impact of climate change, increasing emphasis has been placed on

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 ...

Wave overtopping and grass cover layer failure on the inner slope of dikes

open access: yes, 2005
Historically, breaching of dikes, following erosion of the inner slope after heavy wave overtopping, has been a major coastal flood hazard. Over recent years, improvement in understanding of storm surge levels, and wave run-up, has meant that current ...

Wave overtopping at berm breakwaters:Experimental study and development of prediction formula

open access: yes, 2017
Prediction of overtopping rate plays a key role in the design and safety assessment of breakwater structures. In this study, the mean wave overtopping rate at hardly and partly reshaping berm breakwaters were investigated by means of small-scale physical
