Plastic debris is a significant threat to marine and coastal ecosystems. Previous research
found that waves, wind, as well as density, size, and shape of microplastics, drive their …

When performing physical or numerical experiments in a wave flume, it is important to
distinguish between the incident and reflected wave components. Recently wave separation …

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 …

A prototype-scale physical model was used to study wave height attenuation through an
idealized mangrove forest and the resulting reduction of wave forces and pressures on a …

The present paper presents a new active absorption method for wavemakers in physical
models based on digital filtering of signals from wave gauges in the nearfield. Such system …

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 …

The presence of abrupt depth transitions might trigger strong nonlinear effects on
propagating water waves near coastal regions. In this study, the dynamics of nonlinear …

Numerical tests are performed to investigate wave transformations of nonlinear nonbreaking
regular waves with normal incidence to the shore in decreasing and increasing water depth …

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 …

Perforated multichamber caisson breakwaters are widely used for deep water harbour
protection from waves, causing a partial dissipation of wave energy, hence reducing wave …
