This paper presents breaking wave loads on a tripod structure from physical model tests and numerical simulations. The large scale model tests (1:12) are described as well as the validation of the three dimensional numerical ...

Submerged breakwaters are gaining more popularity as a potential coastal protection structure resulting in moderate wave transmission with significant wave energy dissipation. Submerged breakwaters are mainly adopted to ...

This study is based on the data obtained from tests carried out in the Large Wave Flume (Grosser Wellenkanal (GWK)) in Hannover in the frame of a joint research project of Ghent University (Belgium) and Forschungszentrum ...

For large classes of vorticities we prove that a steady periodic gravity water wave with a monotonic profile between crests and troughs must be symmetric. The analysis uses sharp maximum principles for elliptic partial ...

Wave overtopping - i.e., excess of water over the crest of a coastal protection infrastructure due to wave run-up - of a smooth slope can be reduced by introducing slope roughness. A stepped revetment ideally constitutes ...
