The roughness factor (γf) is a parameter used in overtopping estimators to account for the effects of armor unit geometry, the number of layers in the armor and other structural characteristics. Different values of γf for ...

[EN] Conventional mound breakwaters are usually designed to withstand low mean wave overtopping discharges and a low proportion of overtopping waves (P-ow). Existing formulas to estimate P-ow, and maximum individual wave ...

[EN] In this study, seven input variables are used to estimate wave forces on the crown wall, and explanatory variables are ranked using neural network techniques. 274 small-scale 2D tests, including both wave overtopping ...
[EN] Sea level rise due to climate change, as well as social pressure to decrease the visual impact of coastal structures, have led to reduced crest freeboards, and this increases the overtopping hazard. In previous studies, ...

Based on the Crest Level Assessment of Coastal Structures (CLASH) Neural Network Overtopping prediction method, a new 16-parameter overtopping estimator (Q6) was developed for conventional mound breakwaters with crown ...
[EN] Mound breakwaters are usually designed to limit the mean wave overtopping rate (q) or the maximum individual wave overtopping volume (V-max). However, rarely do studies focus on wave overtopping volumes on breakwaters ...
[EN] Background literature on the influence of parapets on the overtopping of mound breakwaters is limited. In this study, numerical tests were conducted using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to analyze the influence ...

[EN] A method has been developed to estimate wave overtopping discharges for a wide range of coastal structures. The prediction method is based on Neural Network modelling. For this purpose use is made of a data set obtained ...
[EN] The influence of parapets on crown walls of mound breakwaters on wave forces has not been extensively analyzed in the literature. In this study, numerical experiments were carried out using the open-source platform ...

[EN] The influence of the type of armor on wave overtopping on mound breakwaters is usually represented by the roughness factor. However, different values of roughness factor for the same armor unit are given in the ...
