Abstract

New data was collected in the wave flumes of Ghent University and Aalborg University on wave overtopping discharges over rubble mound structures, focusing on the influence of (large) crest width and surface roughness in combination with wave period. Combining these new data with existing data, analysis has led to the improvement of the guidance for wave overtopping prediction. The data and full analysis are presented in Eldrup et al. (2022). The present extended abstract adds a comparison of this improved guidance to the Neural Network prediction by Formentin et al. (2017), and to the EurOtop (2018) prediction.
