Placed block revetments on dikes are used for the protection of the structure against wave loading. The dimensions of the revetment are determined with empirical relations and design tools. The stability of the design solution needs to be checked by physical flume tests to ensure the safety of the structure. However, these tests can be costly...

The process of finding values of extreme waves and their impacts on wave energy converter (WEC) responses, depends on both wave resources and WEC dynamic characteristics. A wide range of waves can influence the reliability of operation and survivability of a WEC. In this paper, a methodology is described to find specific values of wave heights...

Hybrid wave-wind energy converters are considered an innovative solution to decrease costs in the various phases of installation and operation and lead to a lower Levelized Cost of Energy. Currently, there are different concepts in various Technology Readiness Levels. This paper provides a comprehensive review of existing wave-wind energy...

Because the demand for green energy increases rapidly, it is expected that solar and wind energy will dominate future power generation. New in this field is the development of offshore floating solar systems, consisting of multiple interconnected platforms that are covered with PV panels. Besides satisfying the demand for electricity, these...

During the last two decades, increasing vessel size in major German estuaries has led to the significant change of the local loading regime i.e. increased importance of ship-induced waves and currents. As a consequence, the intensity of ship-induced loads has increased considerably, resulting in damage to rock structures such as revetments,...

Coastal zones have been a dynamic area and most favoured locations utilized for living, leisure, recreational activities, tourism, commerce and many other human activities. Submerged and floating breakwaters have been used as effective systems to protect these zones from wave attack. However, they are only effectively functional if the incident...

The work presents an experimental investigation into the motion of and hydrodynamic forces along a single flexible stem in regular waves. The experiment covers a large range in relevant non-dimensional parameters: the drag-to-stiffness ratio, the inertia-to-stiffness ratio, the Keulegan-Carpenter number and the Reynolds number. The two first...

The integration of oscillating water column (OWC) wave energy converters into a coastal structure (breakwater, jetty, pier, etc.) or, more generally, their installation along the coast is an effective way to increase the accessibility of wave power exploitation. In this paper, a theoretical model is developed based on the linear potential flow...

Many sea dikes along the coast of the North Sea are protected against wave loading and currents by riprap revetments that are grouted with mortar. The mortar bonds the individual stones of the top layer, thereby forming a coherent structure that is able to withstand normal forces and shear forces as well as momentums, thus leading to a planar...

Offshore wind energy is a fast-growing sector in the energy industry, and the cost of electricity per kilowatt-hour from offshore wind is decreasing significantly. Until now, offshore wind turbines are mainly installed on bottom-mounted foundations, which are economically feasible in shallow waters. This factor has limited the development of...

This study aims at demonstrating the capability of the immersed-body method to simulate wave–structure interactions using a non-linear finite-element model. In this approach, the Navier–Stokes equations are solved on an extended mesh covering the whole computational domain (i.e. fluids and structure). The structure is identified on the extended...

Numerical modelling has the potential to probe the complexity of the interacting physics of rubble mound armour systems. Through forward modelling of armour unit packs, stochastic variables such as unit displacement and maximum contact force per unit during an external oscillatory disturbance can be predicted. The combined finite-discrete...

Wave fields in the close vicinity of a coastal structure can be very complex, this is especially the case during extreme storm conditions and for complex geometries. There is a growing interest for numerical simulation tools capable of predicting in detail the complex hydrodynamic loads due to waves and currents and its effect at structures. In...

Within the framework of the CLASH-white spot tests, wave overtopping tests on a smooth sloping structure have been performed at UGent. 3 different geometries have been tested during these tests 1) simple smooth dike 2) simple smooth dike with a small vertical part (same crest level as geometry 1) 3) simple smooth dike with a small vertical part...

Based on a database of laboratory data on wave overtopping (around 10,000 tests) a neural network technique is used for producing a generic prediction method. In the first database (around 7,000 tests) the following white spots were detected where additional tests could improve the generic prediction method. This report deals with the laboratory...

This report details the results of the second phase of the additional white spot tests undertaken by the University of Edinburgh. Part A was undertaken by Aalborg University who investigated the effect of wave obliquity. Edinburgh were commissioned to undertake a series experiments to determine the relative difference in overtopping...

Tests have been performed with low steepness and reshaping breakwaters at Ghent University and Aalborg University respectively. The reshaping breakwater is a type of breakwater where the information on overtopping is very limited. The additional tests are described in the following four reports: ..

The main objective of Workpackage 5 is to use numerical simulation of wave overtopping in order to solve the problem of suspected scale effects. A second, related, objective is to improve existing codes in such a way as they are able to simulate wave overtopping in a reliable way. The final, single, objective is to numerically model long waves...

Old dikes are usually still constructed entirely from clay and since 1953 many much heavier dikes have been made from a core of sand with a covering. This construction puts heavier requirements on the covering, as it also does for grassland on a clay layer. These and other developments have led to the need for more insight into the strength of...
