A comparison of overtopping behaviour over a permeable and impermeable crest: An insight into overtopping discharges and intensities

The purpose of this report is to investigate the differences in overtopping characteristics over the crest of a rubble mound breakwater when the crest is made either impermeable or permeable. Among numerous characteristics that are effected by a modification in the permeability of the crest, this report looks specifically into three separate...

Flow velocity at rubble mound breakwaters

Measurements of flow velocities due to wave action on top of shallow toe structures in front of a rubble mound breakwater. Laboratory tests in the Fluid Mechanics lab, TU Delft.
