To obtain a more detailed description of wave overtopping, a 2-D numerical wave tank is presented based on an open-source SPH platform named DualSPHysics, using a source generation and absorption technology suited for SPH methods with analytical relaxation approach. Numerical simulation of regular wave run-up and overtopping on typical sloping dikes is carried out and satisfactory agreements are shown between numerical results and experimental data. Another overtopping simulation of regular wave is conducted against six different types of seawalls (vertical wall, curved wall, recurved wall, 1:3 slope with smooth face, 1:1.5 slope with smooth face and 1:1.5 slope with stepped-face), which represents the details of various breaking waves interacting with different seawalls, and the average deviation of wave overtopping rate is 6.8%.

Wave overtopping—i.e., excess of water over the crest of a coastal protection infrastructure due to wave run-up—of a smooth slope can be reduced by introducing slope roughness. A stepped revetment ideally constitutes a slope with uniform roughness and can reduce overtopping volumes of breaking waves up to 60% compared to a smooth slope. The effectiveness of the overtopping reduction decreases with increasing Iribarren number. However, to date a unique approach applicable for a wide range of boundary conditions is still missing. The present paper: (i) critically reviews and analyzes previous findings; (ii) contributes new results from extensive model tests addressing present knowledge gaps; and (iii) proposes a novel empirical formulation for robust prediction of wave overtopping of stepped revetments for breaking and non-breaking waves. The developed approach contrasts a critical assessment based on parameter ranges disclosed beforehand between a smooth slope on the one hand and a plain vertical wall on the other. The derived roughness reduction coefficient is developed and adjusted for a direct incorporation into the present design guidelines. Underlying uncertainties due to scatter of the results are addressed and quantified. Scale effects are highlighted.

In order to study the specialties of wave slamming on open-piled structures, a two-dimensional regular wave tank was established based on commercial CFD software FLUENT. Three typical cases of regular wave slamming on the open-piled structures were reproduced by using the numerical wave tank and compared with the experimental data available. Good agreements were obtained between the numerical and experimental results and the average of peak impact pressure was chosen as the characteristic impact pressure. Then regular wave impact pressure on the open-piled structures under various wave height, period and over height were simulated. The influences of the three parameters on the distribution of impact pressure were analyzed.

A return wall or parapet is a very efficient construction built to reduce wave overtopping over sea structures. One of its main advantages is that this relative small construction can be built in a dike without increasing the crest height yet creating a major reduction in wave overtopping. In this paper only non-breaking waves attacking smooth dikes are investigated. A normal smooth dike, a smooth dike with vertical wall and a smooth dike with parapet have been tested. The results lead to reduction factors for a vertical wall or a parapet that can be introduced in the van der Meer formulas for wave overtopping over smooth dikes. The optimal geometry of the parapet has been subject of the research as well.

In order to study the wave force acting on the hollow blocks structures locating at the permeable foundation under the regular wave flume, the wave tank is established basing on improved N-S Equations. And the moving boundary’s generating wave and wave absorption of momentum source are adopted in the numerical wave flume. It can also be simulated permeable foundation by porous media module. Then mathematical model can be constructed under the interaction between waves and hollow block when PISO is used to couple velocity and pressure fields. At the same time, the numerically calculated results of the wave force acting on the hollow blocks are compared with the experimental data in agreement. In conclusion, the variation of the wave force with incident wave height and period is obtained through the numerical calculation.
