Abstract: Modeling of nearshore flows by means of the classic nonlinear shallow water equations is reviewed and analyzed with a specific focus on the interdependence between physical phenomena, model equations, and numerical schemes. ...

Abstract: On the basis of the recently proposed boundary value problem for the nonlinear shallow water equations and the extension of its available solutions for swash zone flows, we propose regression curves for the prediction of ...

Abstract: The rotations of a parametric pendulum fitted onto a suitable floating support and forced to move vertically under the action of water waves have been studied on the basis of a dedicated ...

Abstract: By comparing model results from tests of steady and oscillatory flows over a submerged bar (of interest for both riverine and marine environments), we highlight similarities and differences between a state-of-the-art ...

Abstract: A comparative assessment of available formulae for the water setup inshore of submerged breakwaters is made on the basis of a wide and varied dataset derived from basin and flume laboratory experiments. Formulae derived ...

Abstract: The working features of innovative coastal defense structures that can dissipate the energy of incoming waves by the action of large-scale bottom unevennesses (rigid blades covering the lower half of the water depth) were ...
