TL;DR: In this article, a group of WECs based on different operating concepts is numerically tested in front of two beaches, i.e. the Bay of Santander in Spain and Las Glorias beach in Mexico, representing two different case studies where the long-shore sediment transport is dominant.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of floating breakwater layouts on wave transmission, loads along moorings and connectors, under oblique waves, was examined in the wave basin of the Maritime Laboratory of the University of Padova, Italy.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe 2D numerical simulations of velocity and pressure fields generated by non-breaking waves on a vertical breakwater with a recurved parapet wall.

TL;DR: In this article, a framework for the quantitative estimation of present and future coastal flood and erosion risks is established using methods, data and tools from across a range of disciplines, including topographic and bathymetric data, climate data from observation, hindcast and model projections, statistical modelling of current and future climates and integrated risk analysis tools.

TL;DR: In this article, a two-step simplified procedure for coastal management purposes is presented and is applied to Emilia Romagna (Italy), whose low and sandy coast faces the relatively mild Northern Adriatic Sea.
