Estimation of Wave Transmission Coefficients for Overtopping of Impermeable Breakwaters.

Abstract

Methods are presented for estimating coefficients of wave transmission by overtopping for smooth and rough impermeable breakwaters. These techniques can be used for monochromatic or irregular wave conditions and for submerged breakwaters. Example problems are worked to illustrate calculations. (Author)
