Simulation of Wave Overtopping of Maritime Structures in a Numerical Wave Flume

A numerical wave flume based on the particle finite element method (PFEM) is applied to simulate wave overtopping for impermeable maritime structures. An assessment of the performance and robustness of the numerical wave flume is carried out for two different cases comparing numerical results with e...
