Modelling the Wave Overtopping Flow over the Crest and the Landward Slope of Grass-Covered Flood Defences
The wave overtopping flow can exert high hydraulic loads on the grass cover of dikes leading to failure of the cover layer on the crest and the landward slope. Hydraulic variables such as the near bed velocity, pressure, shear stress and normal stress are important to describe the forces that may le...
