Abstract
In this study, a new method for wave overtopping measurement was proposed. The proposed method utilize the pressure-current speed relationship and the wave overtopping height. The relationship between pressure and current speed was studied using a flow channel, and the validity of the method for measuring wave overtopping was examined using a two-dimensional wave flume. After installing a pressure gauge in the current channel, the change in pressure according to the increase in current speed was measured, and the relationship between pressure and current speed was derived. The proposed method showed high accuracy when the incident angle was normal condition, and it was confirmed that the accuracy decreased somewhat as the incident angle increased. The reason that the accuracy is somewhat lower under oblique incidence conditions is because the sensitivity to pressure and current speed is high. In addition, when the amount of wave overtopping was large, the relative error increased, but the correlation coefficient between the measured and the estimated overtopping volume was relatively high. It was confirmed that the proposed method was possible as a method for wave overtopping measurement in the field.
