Climate change and the raising number of extreme events, such as severe floods, has
increased the attention on their effects on urban systems. Urban floods generate important …

A campaign of experimental tests on a 2D movable-bed physical model, reproducing an
Italian beach on the Adriatic Sea, has been performed in the wave flume of the “Laboratorio …

Reef Balls are hemispherical concrete units, which feature hydrogen ion concentration
neutralized concrete and specialized surface textures to promote the growth of marine life …

The present work describes the vortex–vortex interactions observed during laboratory
experiments, where a single regular water wave is allowed to travel over a discontinuous …

In this paper, which can be regarded as a companion of that by Corvaro et al.(2010),
experimental results on the internal flow kinematics of waves which propagate on different …

A comparative analysis is performed on the wave energy dissipation efficiency on various
coastal protection devices. In-house experimental data on the performance of two innovative …

We investigate wave attenuation over porous seabeds by means of a phase-and depth-
resolving numerical model that solves the Volume-Averaged Reynolds-Averaged Navier …

A series of experimental tests on a 2D movable-bed physical model of the protected sandy
beach of Gabicce Mare, on the central Adriatic Sea in Italy, is described. Three emerged and …

In the presence of the complex-hydrodynamic phenomenon, the previous studies on wave
transmission characteristics behind low-crested submerged breakwaters are still insufficient …

Submerged breakwaters provide beach protection by dissipating the wave energy for
shoreline erosion abatement without destroying beach aesthetics. The geometrical …
