TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the accuracy of probabilistic forecasts of wave energy flux from a variety of methods, including unconditional and conditional kernel density estimation, univariate and bivariate autoregressive moving average generalised auto-gressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARMA-GARCH) models, and a regression-based method.

TL;DR: In this article, a series of two-dimensional experiments were performed at the University of Padua in 1968 considering a scale characteristic cross section of the Vajont basin near the dam: the landslide was pushed into the stored water by a moving plate over the sliding surface and the maximum wave run-up along the opposite mountain side was measured as a function of the landslide falling time.
Abstract: The Vajont disaster was caused in 1963 by a landslide of about 270 million cubic meters that fell into a hydroelectric reservoir and generated a wave about 200 m high which overtopped the dam and caused 1917 casualties. With the aim of assessing why the real wave height was underestimated, a series of two-dimensional experiments were performed at the University of Padua in 1968 considering a scale characteristic cross section of the Vajont basin near the dam: the landslide was pushed into the stored water by a moving plate over the sliding surface and the maximum wave run-up along the opposite mountain side was measured as a function of the landslide falling time. Some of these results have been compared to smoothed particle hydrodynamics numerical simulations in which both water and noncohesive sediment are simulated as weakly compressible fluid; water is treated as Newtonian fluid while a proper rheological model is adopted for the landslide to mimic its non-Newtonian behavior. The computed fall...

TL;DR: In this paper, a two-dimensional analytical solution is presented to study the reflection and transmission of linear water waves propagating past a submerged horizontal plate and through a vertical porous wall, and the velocity potential in each fluid domain is formulated using three sets of orthogonal eigenfunctions and the unknown coefficients are determined from the matching conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, an explicit Gene-Expression Programming (GEP) model was used to predict wave runup against a large dataset of runup observations, including field and laboratory measurements.

TL;DR: In this paper, a wave-flume experiment was conducted to investigate the influence of wave height and rock strength upon the elevation of shore platforms having a marked scarp at the seaward margin.
Abstract: A wave-flume experiment was conducted to investigate the influence of wave height and rock strength upon the elevation of shore platforms having a marked scarp at the seaward margin. Breaking waves were allowed to act on a steep model cliff to produce a platform. Results indicated that platform elevation increases with increasing rock strength if other factors are constant. It was suggested that a considerable difference in platform elevation in the field can arise depending on wave height and rock strength. The water depth in front of platforms proved to be important for the study of platform elevation.
