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.

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 ...

Coastal cliff ground motions and response to extreme storm waves [PDF]

, 2015
Coastal cliff erosion from storm waves is observed worldwide, but the processes are notoriously difficult to measure during extreme storm wave conditions when most erosion normally occurs, limiting our understanding of cliff processes.

Community acceptance of nature‐based solutions for coastal flood risk management

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 21-36, January 2026.
Abstract Coastal areas are increasingly vulnerable to climate change impacts, such as rising sea levels and more frequent storm events, necessitating urgent adaptation strategies. Various adaptation approaches exist, including hard engineering solutions and nature‐based solutions, but whether these strategies are implemented often depends on social ...

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 ...

WALOWA (wave loads on walls) : large-scale experiments in the delta flume [PDF]

, 2017
Overtopping wave loads on vertical structures on top of a dike have been investigated in several small scale experiments in the past. A large-scale validation for a mild foreshore situation is still missing.

Synchronized Multidisciplinary Observations in Large‐Scale Dam Breach Experiments to Enhance the Understanding of Dam Failure Evolution

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Natural landslide dams pose severe hazards when they fail, and understanding their breach processes remain challenging because such events are rarely observed directly in the field. To address this gap, we conducted large‐scale overtopping experiments with compacted (CP) and non‐compacted (NCP) dams, supported by a synchronized multi‐sensor ...

Instability of Grass Caused by Wave Overtopping [PDF]

Scour and Erosion, 2010
This paper presents a method to deal with the instability of turf in a grass cover that could be considered as an engineering approach, in which both turbulence and two strength models (root model and turf-element model) are discussed in a heuristic way. Turbulence is discussed because of its essential role in erosion.

Effects of Multistage Geotechnical Erosion on Dynamic Mechanical Response of Buried Pipelines

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
River‐spanning pipelines are prone to serious hazards during flooding events, which can trigger erosion, exposure, and large‐scale flotation. In this research, a numerical simulation framework was developed using smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) to analyze the dynamic behavior of pipelines subjected to dam‐breach flood scenarios.
