Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamic Modelling of Wave Impact: A numerical and theoretical analysis of non-breaking wave loads on structures with overhang

Hydraulic structures can be prone to impulsive wave impact, which is a highly stochastic and uncertain process. This type of impact, defined by extreme pressure peaks and a very short duration, is not only caused by breaking waves, but also by non-breaking standing waves on structures with an overhang, such as culverts and steel gates. In this...
