The allowable mean overtopping discharge is used as a design parameter for coastal structures. crest elevation of structures should ensure the wave within acceptable limits structural safety and pedestrians, vehicles, operations, so on. In this study, two-dimensional physical model tests on typical rubble-mound structure geometries were performed discharges under various water depth conditions ...

Probabilistic Neural Network for Predicting the Stability numbers of Breakwater Armor Blocks Doo Kie Kim1, Dong Hyawn Kim2, Seong Kyu Chang1 and Sang Kil Chang1 Summary The stability numbers determining the Armor units are very important to design breakwaters, because armor units are designed for defending breakwaters from repeated wave loads. This study presents a probabilistic neural network ...

Numerical modelling of wave interaction with rock-armoured rubble mound breakwaters has been performed to study overtopping. The influences the slope angle, a berm in seaward slope, protruding crest wall, recurved parapet, and steepness have studied using validated CFD model (OpenFOAM). numerical confirms trends that observed physical tests while validity earlier developed guidelines examined o...
