Xu, Chaoran (author), Nelson-Mercer, Benjamin T. (author), Bricker, J.D. (author), Davlasheridze, Meri (author), Ross, Ashley D. (author), Jia, Jianjun (author)Hurricane Ike, which struck the United States in September 2008, was the ninth most expensive hurricane in terms of damages. It caused nearly USD 30 billion in damage after making landfall on the Bolivar Peninsula, Texas. We used the Delft3d-FM/SWAN hydrodynamic and spectral wave model to simulate the storm surge inundation around Galveston...journal article 2023

Adell, Anna (author), Almström, Björn (author), Kroon, Aart (author), Larson, Magnus (author), Uvo, Cintia Bertacchi (author), Hallin, E.C. (author)This study presents 62 years of hindcast wave climate data for the south coast of Sweden from 1959–2021. The 100-km-long coast consists mainly of sandy beaches and eroding bluffs interrupted by headlands and harbours alongshore, making it sensitive to variations in incoming wave direction. A SWAN wave model of the Baltic Sea, extending from...journal article 2023

Nguyên, Hà (author)A sea-dike system is of importance for the protection of the hinterland. However, the effect of very gentle and shallow sloping foreshores (in the order up to 1 in 1000) on wave overtopping processes has not yet been quantified enough and, thus, so far is not well understood. This dissertation seeks an answer to the question of whether the...doctoral thesis 2022

Albuquerque, João (author), Antolínez, José A. Á. (author), Méndez, Fernando J. (author), Coco, Giovanni (author)Wave climatologies from historical and projected simulations of the ACCESS1.0, MIROC5 and CNRM-CM5 Global Circulation Models (GCM) were sourced from the Coordinated Ocean Wave Climate Project (COWCLIP) and downscaled using the SWAN wave model. Biases between GCM's historical simulations and a regional hindcast were assessed, and the two best...journal article 2022

Ascencio, Jaime A. (author), Jacobsen, Niels G. (author), McFall, Brian C. (author), Groeneweg, Jacco (author), Vuik, V. (author), Reniers, A.J.H.M. (author)To address the important research question of whether implicit (bottom friction) or explicit (stem drag) dissipation models are most appropriate for the prediction of wave attenuation due to aquatic vegetation, the Simulating Waves Nearshore (SWAN) spectral wave model has been extended with an explicit frequency-dependent dissipation model...journal article 2022

Nguyên, Hà (author), Hofland, Bas (author), Chinh, Vu Dan (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author)The spectral wave period T<sub>m-1,0</sub> at the toe of sea-dikes is a crucial parameter to predict wave overtopping discharge over sea-dikes. It is known from literature that this period quickly increases when waves reach shallow foreshores; however, sometimes the assumption is made that the wave period remains constant from offshore to...journal article 2020

(author)Practitioners often employ diverse, though not always thoroughly validated, numerical models to directly or indirectly estimate wave overtopping (q) at sloping structures. These models, broadly classified as either phase-resolving or phase-averaged, each have strengths and limitations owing to the physical schematization of processes within...journal article 2020

Ale, B.J.M. (author), Hartford, Des N.D. (author), Slater, David H. (author)Since Nassim Taleb coined black swan as an event that occurred as a complete surprise for everybody, the metaphor of the black swan has been applied to a much wider variety of events. Black swan events now comprise events that are a surprise for some but not for others, events that have a low likelihood, events that were not believed to be...journal article 2020

Willemsen, Pim W.J.M. (author), Borsje, Bas W. (author), Vuik, V. (author), Bouma, Tjeerd J. (author), Hulscher, Suzanne J.M.H. (author)Foreshores consisting of both bare tidal flats and vegetated salt marshes are found worldwide and they are well studied for their wave attenuating capacity. However, most studies only focus on the small scale: just some isolated locations in space and only up to several years in time. In order to stimulate the implementation of foreshores...journal article 2020

Lavidas, G. (author), Polinder, H. (author)To properly assess the energy and waves at a region, it is vital to obtain suitable long term metocean conditions. Although, wave buoys are a significant source of information they are not able to provide a detailed and complete resource assessment, as they have inherent spatiotemporal and recording limitations. Therefore, numerical wave models...conference paper 2019

Baron-Hyppolite, C.G. (author), Lashley, Christopher H. (author), Garzon, Juan (author), Miesse, Tyler (author), Bricker, J.D. (author)Assessing the accuracy of nearshore numerical models—such as SWAN—is important to ensure their effectiveness in representing physical processes and predicting flood hazards. In particular, for application to coastal wetlands, it is important that the model accurately represents wave attenuation by vegetation. In SWAN, vegetation might be...journal article 2018

Watanabe, Masashi (author), Goto, Kazuhisa (author), Bricker, J.D. (author), Imamura, Fumihiko (author)We examined the quantitative difference in the distribution of tsunami and storm deposits based on numerical simulations of inundation and sediment transport due to tsunami and storm events on the Sendai Plain, Japan. The calculated distance from the shoreline inundated by the 2011 Tohoku-oki tsunami was smaller than that inundated by storm...journal article 2018

van Vledder, G.P. (author), Sander, Sander Th (author), McConochie, Jason D. (author)This paper presents the results of a wave hindcast of a severe storm in the Southern North Sea to verify recently developed deep and shallow water source terms.

Several recent studies emphasize the potential role of ecosystems in flood protection as adaptive risk reduction measures while also contributing to carbon fixation. Here, we...journal article 2016
