Simulating structural response to water impact [PDF]
, 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.

Applied Ocean ResearchA 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
Coastal 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
Journal of Marine Science and EngineeringNear-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.

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