The development of coastal regions combined with rising sea levels is leading to an increasing risk flooding caused by wave overtopping natural beaches and engineered structures. Previous measurements have been obtained for static structures using fixed current meters depth sensors or tanks. These are unsuitable dynamically stable protection however, because the geometry these expected evolve u...

Coastal structures are often designed to a maximum allowable wave overtopping discharge, hence accurate prediction of the amount is an important issue. Both empirical formulae and neural networks among commonly used tools. In this work, new model for mean discharge presented using innovative machine learning technique XGBoost. The selection features train on carefully substantiated, including r...

In this work the Weakly Compressible SPH-based (WCSPH) model DualSPHysics has been validated and applied to study random wave overtopping of dike-promenade layout in shallow water conditions. Data from physical tests carried out a small-scale flume have used for validation. The results compared terms surface elevation, mean discharges individual volumes distribution. selected geometrical is rep...
