Lowe, Ryan J. (author), Buckley, Mark L. (author), Altomare, Corrado (author), Rijnsdorp, Dirk P. (author), Suzuki, T. (author), Bricker, J.D. (author)In this study we assess the capabilities of the mesh-free, Lagrangian particle method (Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics, SPH) method to simulate the detailed hydrodynamic processes generated by both spilling and plunging breaking waves within the surf zone, and present how the approach can be used to predict a broad spectrum of hydrodynamic...conference paper 2019

Streicher, Maximilian (author), Kortenhaus, Andreas (author), Altomare, Corrado (author), Hughes, Steven (author), Marinov, Krasimir (author), Hofland, Bas (author), Chen, X. (author), Suzuki, T. (author), Cappietti, Lorenzo (author)Overtopping bore impact forces on a dike mounted vertical wall were measured in similar large-scale (Froude length scale factor 1-to-4.3) and small-scale (Froude length scale factor 1-to-25) models. The differences due to scale effects were studied, by comparing the up-scaled force measurements from both models in prototype. It was noted that if...conference paper 2019

(author), Klein Breteler, Mark (author), Kaste, Dorothea (author)Overtopping wave loads on vertical structures on top of a dike have been investigated in several small scale experiments in the past. A large-scale validation for a mild foreshore situation is still missing. Hence the WALOWA experimental campaign was carried out to address this topic. In the present paper the objectives of the WALOWA project are...conference paper 2017

Suzuki, T. (author), Altomare, C. (author), Verwaest, T. (author), Trouw, K. (author), Zijlema, M. (author)In this paper, a numerical wave-flow model SWASH, based on non-linear shallow water equation with non- hydrostatic pressure, is applied to the estimation of wave overtopping over a dike in shallow foreshores. First sensitivity analysis is conducted to see the influence of wave generation, grid size, time window and bottom friction by one...conference paper 2014

Chen, X. (author), Hofland, B. (author), Altomare, C. (author), Uijttewaal, J.S.W. (author)In this paper the impact process and mechanism of overtopping flow on a vertical wall on a dike crest are investigated by means of a series of physical model tests. A double-peaked force was recognized in a time series of an overtoping flow. Four stages were summarized for the whole overtopping flow impact process. An empirical relationship...conference paper 2014
