Sterl, A. (author)Tides, currents, wind, waves, and sea level (surge) influence each other in several ways. These interactions are often not accounted for. We here review some recent papers that report results from coupled modelling with the aim to get an impression of how large coupled effects might be, and in which regions and under which circumstances they...report 2013

Van der Westhuysen, A. (author), Van Dongeren, A. (author), Van Nieuwkoop, J. (author), Groeneweg, J. (author), Eslami Arab, S. (author)Over the last five years a research program has been carried out to assess the performance of the spectral wave model SWAN in the Wadden Sea so that it may be used for the transformation of offshore wave conditions to wave boundary conditions near the sea defenses (dikes and dunes). The assessment was done on the basis of extensive wave...report 2011

Gautier, C. (author), Van der Westhuysen, A. (author)The present study aims to assess the prediction of wave penetration into tidal inlets under ambient current in SWAN. The performance of SWAN in the modelling of wave-current interaction was studied for two field cases, namely Port Phillip Bay Heads, Australia, and the Amelander Zeegat in the Dutch Wadden Sea. In-situ wave observations were...report 2010

Bottema, M. (author)In the period 1997-2007, an extensive wind and wave measuring campaign has been carried out on Lake IJssel and Lake Sloten in The Netherlands. The aim of this campaign was to gather and analyse welldocumented wind and wave measurements of high quality, for a range of fetch, depth and (strong) wind conditions. The data should serve a number of...report 2007

Geeraerts, J. (author), De Rouck, J. (author)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...report 2005

Lykke Andersen, T. (author), Burcharth, H.F. (author)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...report 2004

Lykke Andersen, T. (author), Burcharth, H.F. (author)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: .. D24 Part A: Effect of obliqueness, short...report 2004

Pearson, J. (author), Bruce, T. (author), Franco, L. (author), Van der Meer, J.W. (author), Falzacappa, M. (author), Molino, R. (author)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...report 2004

Ingram, D.M. (author), Causon, D.M. (author), Gao, F. (author), Mingham, C.G. (author), Troch, P. (author), Li, T. (author), De Rouck, J. (author)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...report 2004

(author)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...report 1997

Yarde, A.J. (author), Banyard, L.S. (author), Allsop, N.W.H. (author)This report describes research to simplify and consolidate the prediction of wave action in reservoirs; to calculate wave induced discharges on embankments; and to extend work on blockwork and slabbing protection for dam faces presented by Herbert et.al (1995) in the companion report SR 345. The report should be used by engineers involved in the...report 1996

Klopman, G. (author)Changes in the mean horizontal-velocity profile in combined wave-current motion, outside the bottom boundary-layer, are essential for the correct prediction of cross-shore sediment transport outside the surf zone and the transport of dissolved matter, e.g. Klopman (1992). To be able to verify mathematical and numerical models (see Klopman, 1992)...report 1994

Van Vledder, G.P. (author), Weber, S.L. (author)A detailed description is given of a set of programs called EXACT-NL, which computes fetch- or duration limited wave growth with an explicit expression for the resonant four-wave interactions. This guide is meant as a user's manual. lt describes the principles and usage of each program of the EXACT-NL model. We used the EXACT-NL model for the...report 1988

Li, Y.C. (author), Herbich, J.B. (author)The interaction of a gravity wave with a steady uniform current is discussed in this paper. Analysis indicates there is no dominant difference in the results obtained when employing either the equation of conservation of wave energy flux or the equation of conservation of wave action flux. Numerical calculations of the wave length change by...report 1982
