TL;DR: In this paper, a battery of pressure transducers was mounted along the external contour of a cylinder placed at half water depth, while four wave gauges were located close to the cylinder and an ultrasonic sensor behind the paddle to measure its displacement.

TL;DR: In this paper, a laboratory and numerical investigation on the features of the horizontal and vertical hydrodynamic loads given by a solitary wave on a submerged square barrier is presented, where the wave forces were deduced from the records of a discrete battery of pressure sensors located along the external surface of the barrier.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of 30 physical model tests was conducted in the wave channel of the University of Calabria in which a rigid circular cylinder was equipped with 12 pressure transducers placed along its external surface to determine the wave loads, with three wave gauges to record the surface elevation.

TL;DR: In this article, large-scale physical experiments were performed at the new Delta Flume in 2017, aimed at investigating wave impacts on a vertical wall placed on the top of a dike in a mild slope shallow foreshore.

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental and numerical investigation on the horizontal and vertical hydrodynamic forces given by solitary waves on horizontal circular cylinders placed near a rigid horizontal bed was conducted in the wave channel of the University of Calabria in which twelve pressure sensors were installed along the external surface of a cylinder located at gap-to-diameter ratios equal to 0.25 and 0.1.
