Wave Interaction with Permeable Coastal Structures (Golfinteractie metDoorlatende Kustwaterbouwkundige Constructies)

摘要

The aim of the research presented in this thesis is to contribute to a betterunderstanding of physical processes involved in the hydraulic and structural response of coastal structures under wave attack and to develop predictive models of wave interaction with permeable coastal structures with special attention to berm breakwaters. To achieve these objectives, laboratory experiments were carried out to provide new insight into physical processes and to validate predictive models. The numerical modeling of wave attack and the response of structures is restricted to normally incident waves.
