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.

The Influence of Geometrical Shape Changes on Wave Overtopping: a Laboratory and SPH Numerical Study [PDF]
, 2018 This paper presents laboratory investigations of four “retrofit” suggestions for attenuating the overtopping from vertical seawall. Two-dimensional physical model experiments were performed on a vertical seawall with a 1:20 sloping foreshore ...

Partial Entrance Restriction as a Potential Tidal Flood Mitigation Strategy in a Large Urban Estuary
Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Tidal flooding in estuaries is expected to worsen as sea‐level rise (SLR) continues to accelerate and increases storm surge height. Conventional structural defences are often unsustainable, while nature‐based solutions like managed realignment require extensive land to be repurposed.

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 ...

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT The reliability of flood event simulations is a crucial aspect in terms of saving lives. The worst flood scenarios derive from possible dam failures. For earthen dams, the breaching mechanism, triggered by overtopping or piping, is affected by several modelling uncertainties, which propagate downstream and may influence flood hazard mapping ...

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.

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 5, May 2026.A coupled hydrologic and hydraulic modelling framework relying on representative hillslope models and scaled using hydraulic routing schemes is proposed to simulate Hortonian overland flow at intermediate scales. Using a reconstructed historic summer storm in southwest Germany (1994), we show how hillslope scale nature‐based flood prevention measures ...
