TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the results of a study aimed at quantifying the time-response of harbor basins to long waves under resonance conditions, showing that the results valid for periodic forcing waves, acting for an infinitely long time, as those provided by models based on elliptic equations like the Helmoltz and the mild-slope equations, can be misleading with respect to the more realistic ones that can be obtained using time-varying wave equations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe new three dimensional experiments on water waves generated by landslides, which are modeled by a rigid elliptical body, sliding along an inclined plane (slope of 1/3, 1 vertical, 3 horizontal).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present new physical model experiments on tsunamis generated by landslides at the coast of a conical island, which are carried out in a large wave tank; the radius of the island coastline and the falling height of the landslide have been varied during the experimental campaign.

TL;DR: In this paper, the variability in the wave overtopping discharge on a simple rubble mound breakwater caused by different random starting phases and different lengths of incident wave sequences sharing the same energy density spectrum was investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, the results of a preliminary study on aerial landslide-generated waves, which has been mainly intended to establish a method for analyzing water surface records, are presented, along with a discussion of the results along with some remarks about ongoing research.
