Velocity measurements in and around a permeable breakwater

Laboratory measurements in the long wave flume of the Waterlab of TU Delft to capture and obtain simultaneous laboratory measurements of the main hydrodynamic parameters generated by the response of small model scale submerged permeable rubble mound trapezoidal breakwaters (SPBs) under wave action, focusing on the turbulent wave flow...

Evaluation of the Volume-Exchange Model using Van der Meer Laboratory Tests Results

This study extends the theoretical approach developed by JUMELET [2010] to acquire a physical description of the notional permeability coefficient applied in the VAN DER MEER stability formulae [1988]. Van der Meer introduced this coefficient to ensure that the permeability of the structure is taken into account, however due to the empirical...
