Sudden wave flooding on steep rock shores: a clear but hidden danger

H Kalisch, F Lagona, V Roeber - Natural Hazards, 2024 - Springer
It is shown that very steep coastal profiles can give rise to unexpectedly large wave events at
the coast. We conduct a statistical analysis of runs from a nearshore Boussinesq-type model …

Extreme wave events in Ireland: 14 680 BP–2012

The island of Ireland is battered by waves from all sides, most ferociously on the west coast
as the first port of call for waves travelling across the Atlantic Ocean. However, when …

Study of irregular wave run-up over fringing reefs based on a shock-capturing Boussinesq model

Y Ning, W Liu, X Zhao, Y Zhang, Z Sun - Applied Ocean Research, 2019 - Elsevier
This paper presents the results of a parametric study of irregular wave run-up over fringing
reefs using the shock-capturing Boussinesq wave model Funwave-TVD to better understand …
