Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

10: Wave Structure Interaction

Course subject(s) 10: Wave Structure Interaction

There is a strong interaction between a wave and a wave damping structure like a breakwater. This interaction is visible in front of the structure (reflection), on the slope of the structure (run-up) and behind the structure (overtopping and transmission). This chapter summarizes these interactions. Attention has to be paid to the order of magnitude of the effects.

For this lecture you need to read Breakwaters and Closure Dams, Chapter 10
