Abstract

Many previous studies were confined to problem of beach erosion due to waves breaking on the structure. The investigation reported here involved regular non-breaking, shallow water waves progressing toward a seawall. An analytical solution was developed and compared with laboratory- scale experiments. The shallow-water wave theory and boundary layer equations were used in theoretical development, which resulted in a mathematical model for the ultimate scour depth in front of a seawall.
