Abstract

Many of the physical processes concerning land-ocean interactions are not yet totally understood. In the design of sloping coastal structures, such as breakwaters and seawalls, wave run-up and wave overtopping are very important. Earlier research has indicated that wave run-up on rubble mound breakwaters is perhaps underestimated by the often used small scale model tests. This paper reports on studies of wave run-up and wave overtopping on a prototype rubble mound breakwater. Recognized is a clear difference between prototype rubble mound breakwater and small scale test results.
