CONSIDERATION OF DISTRIBUTIONS OF WAVE HEIGHT AND OVERTOPPING RATE ALONG VERTICAL WALL FOR MUCH OBLIQUE WAVES

Abstract

 In shallow water, it is confirmed that complex distributions of wave height and overtopping rate are formed along a vertical wall while an oblique wave penetrates with a small angle to the wall face. Though that is caused by a scattering wave generated on the end of wall and a stem wave propagating along the wall, both model experiments and numerical simulations are less conducted in deep water for a berth. In this study, they are done to investigate characteristics of wave transformation and verify calculation accuracy of a Boussinesq model for much oblique regular waves and uni-/multi-directional irregular waves.
