Wave Overtopping Equation,

Abstract

Some available data on wave overtopping by monochromatic waves were reevaluated before publication of the Shore Protection Manual (U.S. Army, Corps of Engineers, Coastal Engineering Research Center, 1973). The analysis of earlier data was made in order to summarize and present it in a more readily usable form. This paper provides empirical equations which can be used to predict overtopping rates for various structure slopes and structure types if accurate predictions of runup are available.
