Estimation of wave overtopping over the crest of coastal structures is crucial to design
effective and cost efficient countermeasures against storms. Semi-empirical formulas are …

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 …

Abstract An improved Relaxation Zone (RZ) method has been implemented in the meshless
SPH-based DualSPHysics model. Final purpose of this work is to have a general wave …

Wave overtopping is one of the key parameters for designing coastal structures: the crest
level is usually determined using admissible overtopping discharges. Several formulae …

Two computational models, Simulating WAve till SHore (SWASH) and DualSPHysics, with
different computational costs and capabilities have been hybridized in this work. SWASH is …

On 6 December 2010, an extra-tropical storm reached Atlantic Canada, causing coastal
flooding due to high water levels being driven toward the north shore of Chaleur Bay. The …

The applicability of pressure-impulse theory is evaluated for predicting wave impact loading
magnitudes for non-breaking standing wave impacts on vertical hydraulic structures with …

Overtopping phenomena and consequent floods cause significant damage to coastal
communities. Morphological changes in front of structures during storms can influence their …

Since tsunamis pose a threat to many coastal areas, the mitigation of tsunami forces is
important in saving lives and reducing damage when a tsunami comes. Barriers are …

The present paper is the second of two companion papers on the investigations of wave
overtopping flow striking a cylinder, which is the schematisation of a human body, on the …
