In the context of “green” approaches to coastal engineering, the term “eco-engineering” has
emerged in recent years to describe the incorporation of ecological concepts (including …

The experimental results of a 1: 30 scaled wave tank experiment of a point-absorber in
extreme sea states and intermediate water depth are studied. The effect of the PTO damping …

Seawalls are critical defence infrastructures in coastal zones that protect hinterland areas
from storm surges, wave overtopping and soil erosion hazards. Scouring at the toe of sea …

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 …

Advances in the development of prediction tools for wave overtopping allow now for
overtopping volumes to be estimated with good accuracy, with the combined use of mean …

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 …

This study investigates the variation of wave impact loads with the geometrical
configurations of recurve retrofits mounted on the crest of a vertical seawall. Physical model …

Abstract The South China Sea (SCS) is an important channel, which plays a significant role
in global economic trade and in the maintenance of world energy security. A series of …

Experiments are the traditional techniques used in coastal engineering to study complex
wave structure interactions. However, with the advent of high-performance computing, even …

This work presents the results of an investigation on how wave overtopping at a near-vertical
seawall at the back of a sandy foreshore is influenced by sequences of erosive storms. The …
