FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS ON THE WAVE OVERTOPPING SIMULATOR (original) (raw)

This paper presents advancements made to the Wave Overtopping Simulator designed to investigate the erosive impacts of wave overtopping on dikes, levees, and embankments. While previous research established hydraulic aspects of wave overtopping, the simulator allows for controlled field tests to assess erosion resistance under varied conditions, including different vegetation types and slope designs. Results from recent experiments indicate significant erosion resilience in tested dikes, alongside implications for dike management and maintenance strategies.
