This work presents the results of an investigation on how wave overtopping at a near-vertical seawall back sandy foreshore is influenced by sequences erosive storms. The experiments were carried out in Large Wave Flume (GWK) Leibniz University, Hannover (Germany). tested layout consisted 10/1 and with initial 1/15 slope. Three idealised storms simulated. Within each storm both incident conditio...

A series of physical model tests were performed to investigate the wave propagation, pressure, and overtopping processes for vertical sloped seawalls on reef flat. For both regular irregular waves, effects incident height, period, relative distance, fore slope, still-water depth pressure distribution, mean discharge investigated. The peak increased with increase in height decreased distance slo...

In the context of “green” approaches to coastal engineering, term “eco-engineering” has emerged in recent years describe incorporation ecological concepts (including artificially water-filled depressions and surface textured tiles on seawalls drilled holes sea structures) into conventional design process for marine infrastructures. Limited studies have evaluated potential increase wave energy d...

A 2D finite element model for the solution of wave equations is developed. The fluid is considered as incompressible and irrotational. This is a difficult mathematical problem to solve numerically as well as analytically because the condition of the dynamic boundary (Bernoulli’s equation) on the free surface is not fixed and varies with time. The finite element technique is applied to solve non...
