Benchmarking of Numerical Models for Wave Overtopping at Dikes with Shallow Mildly Sloping Foreshores: Accuracy versus Speed
Christopher Lashley, Barbara Zanuttigh, Jeremy Bricker +5
To accurately predict the consequences of nearshore waves, coastal engineers often employ numerical models. A variety of these models, broadly classified as either phase-resolving…

Influence of directional spreading on wave overtopping of sea dikes with gentle and shallow foreshores
Corrado Altomare, Tomohiro Suzuki, Toon Verwaest
The work highlights the importance of directional spreading effects on wave overtopping estimation in shallow and mild sloping foreshores. Wave short-crestedness leads, in general,…

Numerical simulations of surf zone wave dynamics using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics
Ryan J. Lowe, Mark L. Buckley, Corrado Altomare +4
In this study we investigated the capabilities of the mesh-free, Lagrangian particle method (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics, SPH) to simulate the detailed hydrodynamic processes g…
