A 2DV numerical wave flume (AMAZON-SC) has been developed based on a surface capturing approach and the use of Cartesian cut cell techniques. This paper describes the development and application of AMAZON-SC for violent wave overtopping. The code has been developed as part of the United Kingdoms Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) funded VOWS (Violent Overtopping by Waves at Seawalls) project. The use of surface capturing techniques allows the flow in both the air and water to be simulated and permits the formation of mulit-phase overtopping jets.
