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...

Van den Bosch, I.C. (author)
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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

In de ontwerpfase van de Maeslant Kering zijn door het WL tweedimensionale en driedimensionale modelproeven uitgevoerd. Tijdens de driedimensionale proeven werd een aantal niet voorziene instabiliteiten waargenomen. Naar aanleiding van deze proefresultaten werden het deurprofiel en de vormgeving van de onderzijde veranderd, zodat de stabiliteit...

Series of measurements with irregular waves were undertaken for model seawalls of vertical walls with and without protection by concrete block mounds. Experimental data were compared and supplemented with theoretical calculations by the combination of the author's random wave breaking model in shallow waters and the weir type overflow model. The...

Jensen, J.A. (author)
It is described why, and to what extent the practicing engineer makes use of model tests in his design of rubble mound breakwaters. Furthermore an example is shown from practice illustrating the application of models for investigation of wave penetration into harbours. Especially the way in which model tests can confirm and supplement...

This memorandum proposes a mathematical approach of the interactions between a non-viscous fluid with a free surface and an assembly of structures composed of shells, whether fixed or not, partially or totally immersed in the fluid. Some fundamental aspects of the problem, such as the effects of the free surface and of the mutual influence of...

Berge, H. (author), Traetteberg, A. (author)
This paper deals with model tests conducted at the Delft Hydraulics Laboratory (DHL) and the River and Harbour Laboratory at the Technical University of Norway (RHL) for the design of the Europoort Breakwater. A series of tests with regular waves was conducted at the DHL from which the design of the breakwater was decided. The chosen design was...

Ferguson, H.A. (author)
The hydraulic model is playing an increasing part in the process of hydraulic designing and it seems even to have taken over the dominant position that experience and tradition had held for such a long time. But, however important the model tests have become, they are not the only means available to the designer, nor does he have to rely solely...

At the inauguration of two advanced wind-wave flumes in the Netherlands, three decades after BAGNOLD's pioneer work, and one decade after the Haringvliet sluice investigation and the joint Dutch-Danish investigation of the Hanstholm breakwaters, it seems appropriate to summarize current knowledge on wave shock phenomena. These may be classified...
