A critical review is presented on the state of knowledge and calculation capability for coastal
overwash. Overwash and overwash deposits (washover) accompanying hurricanes and …

The Sea-wave Slot-cone Generator (SSG) is a Wave Energy Converter based on the wave
overtopping principle; it employs several reservoirs placed on top of each other, in which the …

After an extensive series of 2-D model tests on the overtopping response of various caisson
breakwaters, general conceptual design formulae and graphs have been derived which …

Abstract The Overtopping BReakwater for Energy Conversion (OBREC) is an overtopping
type wave energy converter, totally embedded into traditional rubble mound breakwaters …

This paper re-examines existing wave run-up data for regular, irregular and solitary waves
on smooth, impermeable plane slopes. A simple physical argument is used to derive a new …

A two-dimensional (2D) numerical model of wave run-up and overtopping is presented. The
model (called OTT-2D) is based on the 2D nonlinear shallow water (NLSW) equations on a …

Prototype measurements, physical model tests, and numerical model computations have
been performed and combined to study wave runup on dikes with shallow foreshores …

Modelling large-scale wave fields and their interaction with coastal and offshore structures
has become much more feasible over the last two decades with increases in computer …

Wave overtopping is one of the key parameters for designing coastal structures: the crest
level is usually determined using admissible overtopping discharges. Several formulae …

As sea level rises and development of the coastal zone continues, coastal flooding poses an
increasing risk to coastal communities. Wave runup can contribute many meters to the …
