Numerical and experimental research of wave interaction with a porous breakwater

The design formula for rubble mound breakwaters by Van der Meer has an unclear Notional Permeability term. This term causes a lot of confusion for designers. In the past many people have tried to derive a better formulation for that term by experimental and analytical research. The goal of this study was to obtain a better formulation along a...

Modelling the anisotropy of turbulence with the SWASH model: Heterogeneous roughness conditions in open channel flows

In this study the focus is on modelling turbulence anisotropy in open channel flows with the SWASH model. Turbulence anisotropy significantly influences the flow features of: channel flows with heterogeneous roughness conditions, curved open channel flows, compound channel flows with different floodplain depths, etc. The SWASH model is a non...
