The term “damage” in rubble mound breakwaters is usually related to the foremost failure
mode of this kind of coastal structures: their hydraulic instability. The characterization of the …

Damage in rubble mound breakwaters has been addressed for more than 80 years and, as
reported in “Part I: Historical review of damage models”, a considerable number of hydraulic …

During the past 50 years tools for predicting wave overtopping of sea defense structures
have continuously been refined. However, developers of wave energy converters have …

This paper will address the validation and application of a volume of fluid method for coastal
structures under the influence of normal incident irregular wave fields. Several physical …

Solitary wave interaction with porous breakwaters is studied by using a two-dimensional
numerical model. In this model, flows outside of porous media are described by Reynolds …

A new formula is introduced to determine the wave transmission at submerged porous
breakwaters highlighting the effect of the wave-induced pore pressure distribution inside the …

In this paper, the hydrodynamic efficiency of a new type porous seawall is experimentally
studied by using physical models. The seawall consists of front steel screen, back solid wall …

This work presents a simple method to evaluate the performance of a porous breakwater
when it is impinged with normal incidence by a non-breaking monochromatic wave train. It is …

Berms deployed at the toe of conventional breakwaters may be needed to reduce bottom
settlements and to limit scour in front of the structure due to coastal currents. In the mean …

This paper contributes to a better knowledge on the distribution of individual wave
overtopping volumes in shallow-water wave conditions. Results from new two-dimensional …
