Contributor Verhagen, H.J. Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Date 2007 Abstract The wave overtopping simulator is a device which is able to simulate overtopping waves at the crest of a dike and at the inner slope. The device has been used in the ComCoast project to test a traditional dike section with grass and the SGR, the Smart Grass Reinforcement, placed in May 2006. This report describes in the first part (Chapters 1-6) the design, construction and calibration of the 1 m wide prototype of the wave overtopping simulator, as it was performed from May July 2006, under the ComCoast programme. This first part has also been reported as a final version 2.4 in November 2006. The second part continues with the actual construction and testing of the real wave overtopping simulator and the use of it during testing at the dike at Delfzijl, all under the ComCoast programme. Further, the measurements itself and analysis of velocity and flow depth during this testing has been described. Also the work of Bosman, as performed in this project as a MSc-thesis, has been summarised. This second part describes the period from November 2006 to August 2007.
