SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF WAVE-BY-WAVE OVERTOPPING AT VERTICAL SEAWALLS [PDF]

Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2020
Over the years, many physical and numerical modelling research has been carried out to investigate the wave-structure interactions and the resulting mean overtopping characteristics at sea defences. The most reliable empirical predication formulae for prediction of mean overtopping rates have been reported in the overtopping manual, EurOtop (2018).

Spatial distribution of regular wave overtopping on landscape revetment during typhoon landfalls

Applied Ocean Research
Typhoons raise nearshore water levels and generate large waves, posing significant wave overtopping risks to low-crested revetments designed with hydrophilic considerations.

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

Frontiers 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 ...

Overtopping of Coastal Structures by Tsunami Waves [PDF]

Geosciences, 2017
Following the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami, Japanese tsunami protection guidelines stipulate that coastal defences should ensure that settlements are shielded from the coastal inundation that would result from Level 1 tsunami events (with return periods in the order of about 100 years).

HUMAN STABILITY ON SLOPES UNDER OVERTOPPING WAVES

Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2023
In a world affected by climate change and sea-level rise, intense storms are expected to become more frequent in the future. This implies that our coastal protections will be more often and more intensely affected by overtopping waves, potentially endangering the safety of our coastal communities.

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

Engineering 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.

Wave Overtopping Equation

Coastal Engineering 1976, 1976
In the early 1950's the Corps of Engineers' Jacksonville District initiated a series of laboratory tests to investigate the overtopping of proposed levee sections for Lake Okeechobee, Florida. For economic reasons, the alternative to build levees with crest elevations that were at times below the limit of wave runup was investigated and the quantities ...

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

International 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.

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

Journal 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 ...

Non-Hydrostatic Modelling of Coastal Flooding in Port Environments

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
Understanding key flooding processes such as wave overtopping and overflow (i.e., water flows over a structure when the crest level of the structure is lower than the water level in front) is crucial for coastal management and coastal safety assessment ...
