Corporate name TU Delft Project Berm Breakwaters Date 1997-01-01 Abstract A numerical model for the waves on the slope has been established. It is based on the existing NSW (Non-linear Shallow-water Wave Equations) model from MAST I (Norton and Holmes, 1991, and Norton and Holmes, 1992). This model has been re-established and more user friendly organized; impermeable and permeable slopes have been incorporated, and it is now fully operational. The model has been developed to determine the flow characteristics on the slope of impermeable coastal structures and on the slope and within the permeable layer of porous coastal structures as a result of the effects of incident waves. The model can be used to analyze monochromatic incident waves which are specified by wave height and period. Research at the DH! has been undertaken to study the effect of oblique waves on the reshaping and longshoretransport ofthe trunk and roundhead ofthe berm breakwater. Since the main cause for these processes is the velocity field around the structure, velocity measurements were taken with the aim of studying and analysing the velocityfield on the trunk and, especially, around the roundhead under wave attack. Regular waves were used for most of the experiments with one run usingirregular waves.
