Within the framework of the European project CLASH phenomena related to wave overtopping are studied. In this report a method to predict wave overtopping at a wide range of coastal structure types is given. The method is based on Neural Network modelling of the mean wave overtopping discharge. The method can be applied for coastal structures...

It is proven that wave run up on rough slopes is underestimated in small scale model tests due to scale / model effects. Given this fact, the same effects are suspected to be present for wave overtopping. A thorough comparison between prototype measurements of wave overtopping at three different coastal structures and scale model tests of these...

Within the framework of the CLASH-white spot tests, wave overtopping tests on a smooth sloping structure have been performed at UGent. 3 different geometries have been tested during these tests 1) simple smooth dike 2) simple smooth dike with a small vertical part (same crest level as geometry 1) 3) simple smooth dike with a small vertical part...

CLASH is concentrating on investigations of wave overtopping for different structures in prototype and in laboratory. The model investigations have focussed on wave overtopping and the comparison of overtopping results from small-scale model tests and prototype measurements. Possible differences in the results from small-scale tests and...

Prediction of wave overtopping discharges for seawalls / breakwaters have improved significantly over the last 25 years, but processes associated with overtopping hazards to people on or close behind seawalls are not yet well understood. Despite research advances in recent years, there remain important gaps in knowledge and disagreements over...

This report provides a methodological background that will be used in the assessment of hazards of overtopping. Those assessment methods that attach a monetary value to the effects on resources are focussed upon. The relationships between the characteristics of overtopping and the use of specific valuation techniques is further explored....

Based on a database of laboratory data on wave overtopping (around 10,000 tests) a neural network technique is used for producing a generic prediction method. In the first database (around 7,000 tests) the following white spots were detected where additional tests could improve the generic prediction method. This report deals with the laboratory...

Tests have been performed with low steepness and reshaping breakwaters at Ghent University and Aalborg University respectively. The reshaping breakwater is a type of breakwater where the information on overtopping is very limited. The additional tests are described in the following four reports: .. D24 – Part A: Effect of obliqueness, short...

Within WP4.2 laboratory investigations for the Ostia rubble mound breakwater are performed in the wave flume of Ghent University (later UGent) and in the wave basin of Flanders Hydraulics (hereafter FCFH). In order to check any influence that is typical for laboratory measurements and to identify possible causes for differences in results, tests...

One of the main objectives within the EU-project CLASH (www.clash-eu.org) was to create a generic prediction method for wave overtopping at coastal structures by means of the Neural Network technique. An extensive and homogeneous database on wave overtopping was set up within CLASH, mainly with the aim to be used for the training process of the...

The main objective of Workpackage 5 is to use numerical simulation of wave overtopping in order to solve the problem of suspected scale effects. A second, related, objective is to improve existing codes in such a way as they are able to simulate wave overtopping in a reliable way. The final, single, objective is to numerically model long waves...
