Abstract
The basic characteristics of a non-wave-overtopping type seawall in shallow water were investigated through a wave tank experiment and a numerical simulation. The minimum crest height which satisfies non-wave-overtopping condition, a wave pressure, a wave reflection and a water spray transported behind the seawall were measured in the experiment. The fluid motion near the seawall was obtained by numerical simulation based on SOLA-VOF method. These hydraulic factors of non-wave overtopping type seawall were compared with a conventional upright seawall and advantages of nonwave overtopping type seawall in control of wave overtopping were discussed.
