Wave Transmission by Overtopping

Journal of the Waterways, Harbors and Coastal Engineering Division, 1972
This report presents a semi-empirical theory for ocean wave transmission past breakwaters by overtopping, based on an evaluation of the energy content of the overtopping water. While several coefficients are subject to further investigation, the data show that the general form of the equations developed is correct.

Role of Beach Morphology in Wave Overtopping Hazard Assessment

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2017
Understanding the role of beach morphology in controlling wave overtopping volume will further minimise uncertainties in flood risk assessments at coastal locations defended by engineered structures worldwide.

Overtopping Metrics and Coastal Safety: A Case of Study from the Catalan Coast

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
Design criteria for coastal defenses exposed to wave overtopping are usually assessed by mean overtopping discharges and maximum individual overtopping volumes.

WAVE OVERTOPPING SIMULATOR TESTS IN VIET NAM [PDF]

Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2011
Sea dikes in Viet Nam have been built up during a long history. Every year, about 4 to 6 storms attack the coast and cause severe damages of the sea dikes. Till now, little is known about strength and stability of the inner slope covered with grass under impacts of wave overtopping during storm surges.

Effect of Variations in Water Level and Wave Steepness on the Robustness of Wave Overtopping Estimation

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
The wave overtopping discharge at coastal defense structures is directly linked to the freeboard height. By means of physical modelling, experiments on wave overtopping volumes at sloped coastal structures are customarily determined for constant water ...

Estimation of Wave overtopping on Reshaping Breakwaters [PDF]

محیط زیست و مهندسی آب, 2016
The breakwater as structures that have an important role in the protection of coastal facilities was used to create calm in the harbor, reduce wave energy and also protect the coast against wave attack.

Wave Overtopping on Rubble Mound Breakwaters

Coastal Engineering 1988, 1988
The paper gives the results of an extensive series of hydraulic model tests carried out in a random wave flume, in order to study the effects on wave overtopping of the main geometric parameters of a typical rubble mound breakwater with crown wall.

Spatial and Temporal Variation in Wave Overtopping Across a Coastal Structure Based on One Year of Field Observations

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Coastal managers worldwide must prepare for changes in annual wave overtopping events due to climate change and sea-level rise. Research often assesses overtopping discharges by extreme events at a sea wall crest, typically using data from physical ...

Analytical Approach on Wave Overtopping on Levees

Coastal 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 ...
