Spatial distribution of wave overtopping

The goal of this master thesis is to describe the spatial distribution of the wave overtopping discharge over and behind the crest of a coastal defence structure. The influence of the most relevant parameters on this process is explored. This research has been performed by means of a physical model. The following relevant parameters were varied...

Composite Seawall for Wave Energy Conversion

Detrimental impacts of fossil fuels and its foreseen scarcity are encouraging research for the development of the renewable energy as alternatives. A newly developed composite seawall concept could be a vitally important technique for wave energy conversion. A 3-D model of composite seawall has been simulated to comprehend its hydraulic...
