AVERAGE OVERTOPPING DISCHARGE PREDICTION FOR BERM BREAKWATERS

The present paper deals with overtopping prediction for berm breakwaters in line the EurOtop methodology. basis is recent advances proposed conventional respect to influence of wave steepness and crest width. New model tests have been performed investigate applicability these factors breakwaters. To cover a white spot existing data breakwaters, included conditions very low steepness. results show that recently developed also improve predictions Based heron an additional factor dimensionless width established. was previous studies made by height, but study indicates wavelength more appropriate.
