This paper presents the stability analysis of a non-conventional breakwater cross-section
integrating an overtopping wave energy converter, named OBREC. The device consists of a …

Most existing methods for separation of two-dimensional (long-crested) waves into incident
and reflected components are based on linear wave theory. Recently, a new method for …

The Overtopping BReakwaterfor Energy Conversion (OBREC) is an overtopping wave
energy converter, totally embedded in traditional rubble mound breakwaters. The device …

This paper presents a physical model study of wave induced forces on a composite vertical
breakwater, where the crown wave wall is retreated with respect to the front face of the …

Abstract Knowledge of the incident and reflected waves present in laboratory experiments is
a key issue in order to correctly assess the behaviour of the tested structure. Usual applied …

Generation of high-quality waves is essential when making numerical or physically model
tests. When using a wavemaker theory outside the validity area, spurious waves are …

The interaction between wind and waves largely determines exchanges of mass,
momentum, energy, and substances which take place at the air–sea interface. Usually, the …

The overtopping phenomenon at the rear side of breakwaters has particular importance in
harbor protection. Undoubtedly, this topic needs to be taken even more seriously …

The detailed modeling of free‐surface waves and their interaction with bottom‐mounted or
floating structures requires large computational resources, which is why efficient boundary …

The main objective of this research is to present an improved and more accurate formula to
estimate the reflection coefficient (KR) for rubble mound breakwaters. Physical model tests …
