Abstract

Groynes in the Lower Elbe estuary in Germany are subject to attack from overflowing long-period primary ship-induced waves. Damage can occur on the crest and lee side of the structure due to the high turbulent overflowing flow velocities. An actual design tool for groynes exposed to overflowing primary ship waves is not yet present. Therefore, experimental research based on physical modelling is performed to establish a relationship between the damages and corresponding overflowing primary ship waves. This can be used as a design tool for groynes exposed to these types of wave attack.
