Coastal flooding is a significant and increasing hazard. There are multiple drivers including
rising coastal water levels, more intense hydrologic inputs, shoaling groundwater and …

The paper describes the results of a two-dimensional (2-D) numerical modelling
investigation of the functionality of rubble mound breakwaters with special attention focused …

A one-dimensional high-resolution finite volume model capable of simulating storm waves
propagating in the coastal surf zone and overtopping a sea wall is presented. The model …

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

The paper presents an incompressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) model to
investigate the wave overtopping of coastal structures. The SPH method is a grid-less …

Accurate calculation of wave overtopping is important for determining the required crest
height and geometry of a dike. Berms and roughness elements are widely used to reduce …

Estimation of wave overtopping over the crest of coastal structures is crucial to design
effective and cost efficient countermeasures against storms. Semi-empirical formulas are …

Numerical modelling of wave interaction with rock-armoured rubble mound breakwaters has
been performed to study wave overtopping. The influences of the slope angle, a berm in the …

Laboratory experiments are presented for the breaking of solitary waves over breakwaters. A
variety of behaviors is observed, depending on both breakwater and incident wave height …

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 …
