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

This paper describes 2-D numerical simulations of velocity and pressure fields generated by
non-breaking waves on a vertical breakwater with a recurved parapet wall. The influence of …

Coastal defence structures are playing a vital role in protecting coastal communities from
extreme climatic conditions and flooding. With climate change and sea-level rise in the next …

This paper aims at investigating the intensity of the load applied by non-breaking waves on
the recurved parapet wall of vertical breakwaters. For this purpose, 2-D experiments were …

This research uses physical and numerical experiments to investigate the wave overtopping
of a vertical seawall in an uneven surf zone. The numerical experiments exploit two …

This paper will discuss the variations in wave loads on a vertical seawall structure due to the
addition of parapets. A 1: 8 model scale experiments on a wall with parapets will be carried …

The formula to quantify the average wave overtopping discharge of non-breaking waves
over a dike according to the TAW-report (2002) and included in the EurOtop Manual (2007) …

Coastal structures are crucial to protect the coastline from destructive impacts induced by
sea wave attacks. Structure failures, erosion, and overtopping water should be prevented or …

Understanding the spatial distribution of wave overtopping water behind coastal protection
structures is essential for assessing the safety level of coastal regions behind the coastal …

In this paper, an extended numerical analysis of the “confined-crest impact”(hereinafter
referred as “C–CI”), induced by non-breaking waves on recurved parapet walls, is presented …
