Analytical Approach on Wave Overtopping on Levees

Individual wave overtopping at coastal structures: A critical review and the existing challenges

“…With the exception of the mean overtopping discharge, all the other responses are parameters related to individual wave overtopping events and are obtained via 'wave-by-wave' analysis. Since overtopping is a complex random process, analytical methods based on somewhat simplified expressions of the processes e. g. [2][3][4] do not necessarily always give reliable predictions [5]. Hence, estimations of overtopping parameters are mostly based on empirical methods relating overtopping response to wave and structural parameters.…”

“…A second definition, later having found wider application for coastal structures, adopts the weir equation to wave overtopping. The dimensionless discharge isgiven as [12]:…”

“…Accordingly, the applications of the results are limited. Attempts to evaluate a general expression for the overtopping process by introducing dimensionless parameters have been done by Paape [11] and Shi-Igai and Kono [12]. Weggel [13] carried out a dimensional analysis and recommended some dimensionless equations by using the data achieved from previous works.…”

Seawalls in Deep Seas

“…The overflow was observed to occur calmly if 1/L was smaller than 0.06. This phenomenon implies that the analytical approach on wave overtopping over vertical seawalls [6] can also be useful for the analysis on the wave overtopping over the slit-type seawall with the values of 0.04 to 0.05 of 1/L.…”
