Enhancing climate resilience of vertical seawall with retrofitting - A physical modelling study
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive physical modelling study of four retrofit prototypes, including recurve wall, model vegetation, reef breakwater and diffraction pillars, was conducted to examine their performance in mitigating wave overtopping, when placed in front of a vertical seawall.

Experimental Analysis of Wave Overtopping: A New Small Scale Laboratory Dataset for the Assessment of Uncertainty for Smooth Sloped and Vertical Coastal Structures
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the variation in the main overtopping measures when multiple wave times series generated from the same spectrum are used, and show that this variation is of a similar magnitude to both the one found with similar experiments looking at the phenomena in numerical models, and that specified by the confidence bounds in empirical methods.

Experimental modeling of wave load on a pile-supported wharf with pile breakwater
Huang Jianjun,Guoping Chen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a hybrid structure of a pile-supported wharf connecting with a pile breakwater is tested in a flume with a scale factor of 1:30, where both wave, scour and load characteristic of this structure are investigated.

Influence of oblique wave attack on wave overtopping at caisson breakwaters with sea and swell conditions
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of oblique waves on wave overtopping at a vertical caisson breakwater with and without a recurved parapet was investigated by means of three-dimensional wave basin tests.

Cort J. Willmott,Steven G. Ackleson,Robert E. Davis,Johannes J. Feddema,Katherine Klink,David R. Legates,James O'Donnell,Clinton M. Rowe +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a set of difference measures are used to evaluate the operational performance of a wide spectrum of geophysical models, regardless of whether the model predictions are manifested as scalars, directions, or vectors.

Drop impact onto a liquid layer of finite thickness: dynamics of the cavity evolution.
TL;DR: Experimental, numerical, and theoretical investigations of a normal drop impact onto a liquid film of finite thickness are presented, finding a good agreement with the numerical predictions of the phenomena.

Realistic wave generation and active wave absorption for Navier–Stokes models: Application to OpenFOAM®
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce OpenFOAM® as a tool to consider for coastal engineering applications as it solves 3D domains and considers two-phase flow, and demonstrate that active wave absorption is found to enhance stability by decreasing the energy of the system and correcting the increasing water level on long simulations.

Water-wave impact on walls
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the results of theoretical work, making particular note of the value of considering pressure impulse, and highlight the aspects that are poorly understood, including the role of entrained and trapped air in wave impacts.
