This paper describes a new armour unit called XP-Overtop which is applied together with XblocPlus units in modular layer order to reduce wave overtopping. placed close the crest of structure. Physical model tests have been performed study hydraulic stability and overtopping reduction as function relative freeboard. Based on performed, following conclusions can be drawn: 1) XPOvertop generates s...

This work is divided in to two distinct parts. In the first part a model is developed to assess the redistribution of wave energy about an offshore array of overtopping type wave energy converters. The model is based on a classical analytical solution for diffraction about a breakwater which is modified to consider an array of dissipating, reflecting and transmitting breakwater segments, which ...

The experimental modelling of the wave-structure interaction processes is a very complicated issue, due to highly non-linear turbulent flow conditions, including wave breaking and air entrainment (Stringari et al., 2021). Recently, Formentin al. (2021) demonstrated that videography can provide reliable representation breaking, overtopping impact at walls. They filmed laboratory tests smooth dik...
