Model Test on the Variation of Wave Overtopping per Wave

Abstract

The variation of amounts of wave overtopping per wave has been measured in hydraulic model test in order to investigate the characteristics of the biggest or the mean amount of one-third biggest amount of wave overtopping. The biggest amount of wave overtopping is in direct proportion to the significant wave period of deepwater waves and the significant wave height of deepwater waves to three fourth power on condition that the crest height of seawall is designed to keep wave overtopping rate constant. The biggest amount of wave overtopping is in direct proportion to the wave overtopping rate to the one-half power if the significant deepwater wave height and period are constant.
