Velocity and water-layer thickness of overtopping flows on sea dikes: Report of measurements and formulas development

The study aims to establish a set of formulas estimating velocity and depth of overtopping flows at sea dikes including seaward-side slope, crest and landward-side slope. These formulas are applicable to flows which are generated by natural waves and the simulator giving associated characteristics of any arbitrary value of exceedance probability...

Wave overtopping simulator on a 1/15 slope protected by two local grass species

The phenomenon of wave overtopping during storms was simulated by the Wave Overtopping Simulator on a 1/15 grass covered slope. The four 'Wave Overtopping Simulator' tests were done within the framework of the Research project 'Super sea dike with high safety level and environmental friendly' funded by Viet Nam government. The main objective of...

Destructive tests with the wave overtopping simulator

Report on destructive overtopping tests executed with the wave overtopping simulator along the coast of Vietnam to investigate the strength of the inner slopes of grass dikes. This report presents measurement and observation results obtained during destructive tests with the simulator in Do Son, Thinh Long and Thai Thuy. After the first chapter,...
